otrs.SetPermissions.pl - Skip Article Folder

[jeffbourassa]

Hi All

I am working on migrating a large 3.2.6 OTRS install on OpenSuse to Ubuntu.

I am looking for ideas on speeding up or splitting apart the SetPermissions.pl script. At present due to the size of our article folder - running the SetPermissions.pl script takes close to 12hrs. I would like to break it into a script that just does the permissions on the /article folder and a script that does permissions on all other folders as normally (just skipping the /article folder). With this I can bring OTRS online knowing that there will be errors until the article folder has the correct permissions but for new incoming tickets we will be working normally.

We have close to 20million files in the /article folder, 800Gb - so parsing through that takes considerable time.

Any ideas would be great!

Jeff
