Isilon chmod switches to reset directory ACEs

Question

I am looking for a command that will easily, from the OneFS CLI, reset directory permissions on a location and all its child objects.  I would think this would be via chmod, but I can't get the any of the options I have tried to work that way.  I'd like to it replace all permissions with inherited permissions (extended permissions are in use...not just POSIX perms).  The functionality I am looking for is identical to what (in the Windows world) 'icacls.exe /reset /T' does.  I have tried 'chmod -R' with the -b, -D, and -N options, but I am not getting any behavior like what I get with the icacls command. Do you know of any way to do this via chmod in the OneFS CLI? Thanks,REID

Hi Reid,

I am not sure what version of OneFS you are working with, but keep this in mind when running the permissionrepair command listed by sluetze in OneFS 7.0 through 7.2.:

456855 : OneFS 7.0 through 7.2: Web Interface does not allow specification of an Access Zone when starting a PermissionRepair "convert" job https://support.emc.com/kb/456855

The command sluetze listed is a clone job, not a convert job but in the event you are trying different versions, I thought it might be worth mentioning.
