Unfortunately the owner and mode information is vital information about the files.. It's like asking "i just rm'ed this letter -- how can I recover paragraph #3?". You should restore from backup.
Actually, the only information recorded in the owner and group is the data version, and that copy is noncritical except to allow the salvager to recover from a corrupted vnode index, which it doesn't do very well anyway. The authoritative copy of this information lives in the vnode index, so it should be fairly simple to write a tool which walks the vnode indexes for each volume and repairs the owner and group on the underlying files.
Yes, we know namei has issues. This one is relatively minor. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
