CHMOD takes a Long time

[TrevorH]

So that explains why it's slow then.

There are 464k files to change the ownership for. Each one of those will need its directory entry read, updated and written back. Even if each update takes 0.1s (a random guess) then you are looking at 46400 seconds, or nearly 13 hours. If the update was 10 times quicker and took 0.01s then you'd still be looking at going on for 1.5 hours.

Okay. Noted. Anything else which takes a too long to execute CHMOD command except 464k files?

Thank you for your support and help

Additionally, you'd posted a 'picture' (now gone) of directories whereby you'd granted ALL permissions to everybody. Before you allow public access, you may want to 'tighten' those permissions - or keep your CentOS install disc handy.

Hi,

Kindly check the attached file, and could you please let me know CHMOD takes a too long because of the user folder permission?
FYI, there is no CHMOD command delay on another centos and folder size remains same (PFA-Centos)

Thanks

Just a trivial note: when you issue the command are you typing "CHMOD" or typing "chmod"?? The correct form is chmod.

chmod not in CAPS..
