You might consider 'chown -R --from oldUID:oldGID newUID:newGID ...'. This will affect only files belonging to oldUID:oldGID. See chown(1). And of course repeat for all UID:GID combos you have under the new limit. But be prepared for gotchas all the same, especially from backups taken with the old IDs, NFS mounts etc. I don't think there's a clean, completely automatic way of dealing with all the corner cases. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
