The XCP NFS chown command scans and changes the ownership of all the files for the given directory structure. The chown command requires an NFS share or the POSIX path as a variable. XCP chown recursively changes the ownership for a given path. The chown command displays the changed user ID (UID) for a file.
xcp chown -user/-group <user-name/group-name> <source NFS export path>Show example
[root@user-1 linux]# ./xcp chown -user user2 -v 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1 Sat Apr 2 23:06:05 2022 changed ownership of 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1 from 1001:0 to 1004:0 changed ownership of 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1/1.txt from 1001:0 to 1004:0 changed ownership of 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1/softlink_1.img from 1001:0 to 1004:0 changed ownership of 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1/1.img from 1001:0 to 1004:0 changed ownership of 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1/hardlink_1.img from 1001:0 to 1004:0 changed ownership of 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1/softlink_to_hardlink_1.img from 1001:0 to 1004:0 Xcp command : xcp chown -user user2 -v 101.101.10.110:/s_v1/smaple_set/D1 Stats : 6 scanned, 6 changed ownership Speed : 2.25 KiB in (1.82 KiB/s), 1.11 KiB out (923/s) Total Time : 1s.
