chown

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.

Syntax

xcp chown -user/-group <user-name/group-name> <source NFS export path>

./_include/ref-example-nfs-chown.adoc
