Hi all,
after a migration from windows server to isilon (made with emcopy) i have found all folder hidden (on isilon).
Have you got any ideas to solve this issue?

i've seen that as well, look at the attrib command described in this blog.

Hi Dynamox,
i've already tried that command and it works correctly. I would know if there is a "switch command" in emcopy to prevent this issue, because apply the attribute command on large directory (over 4TB) during too long.
Thanks

i don't have access to emcopy right now, i can't recall any options that control folder/file attributes. Question is why they end up with those attributes in the first place. In my scenario it was a relatively small folder so i just fixed it and moved forward with my migration. I can see how resetting this on a 4TB directory can be tedious. Do you see anything abnormal on the source directory ? I assume that you have set "run as root" on the Isilon share for the account you are using with emcopy ?

Hi Dinamox,
unfortunately i don't know isilon very good..i have a domain account and isilon is join to active directory. My user is in domain admin group...where can i verify if my account is set like "run as root" on the isilon?

I have understood my fault.
I did the migration with emcopy from a dedicated server. From this server i launched the emcopy script that copied data from another server in the lan to isilon folder. The issue occurred because the source folder was a hidden folder so emcopy copied the hidden attribute (i had to migrate an entire disk)to destination folder.
The script was:
emcopy \\server1\d$ \\isilon-tru\ifs$\d
To solve this issue, after the copy, i launched the script (from the emcopy server, but every windows server is ok) to modify the hidden attribute on destination folder
attrib -S -H \\isilon-tru\ifs$\d
Thanks for your support and sorry for my english.
Regards
