how big is the directory structure? we've had incredibly painful experiences trying to manage directory perms/ownerships on large directory trees... so much so that we only set the perms on a few of the top level directories and left the rest
it's something to do with needing to do an md5 and stat on every file in the tree that slows it down how important is it that the permissions are forced? we decided eventually that the file attr wouldn't necessarily change unless someone had access to the directory via ssh.. and only the sys admins do to the server in question anyway hopefully there's a better way of doing it ... calling all gurus? cheers, Andrew On Nov 1, 11:15 am, Robert Atkins <snikta.tre...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've just tried this (we assume /opt/jetty-6.1.26 already exists): > > file { "/opt/jetty-6.1.26": > owner => "jetty", > group => "users", > recurse => true, > > } > > ... but it's taking an *age*.
