[OpenAFS] Re: recover data from corrupted volume

[Derrick Brashear]

the data is already as right as it will ever be; all you need to do is
recover the file modes and owners.

i suppose in that regard you could do something like

        find /oldvicepX \( -type d -o -type f \) -print -ls | \
        while IFS= read -r src ; do
        IFS= read -r perms
        tgt="/vicepX${src#/oldvicepX}"
        if [ -f "$tgt" -o -d "$tgt" ]; then
        set -- $perms
        p=`echo "$3" | \
        sed -e 's/.\(...\)\(...\)\(...\)/u=\1,g=\2,o=\3/' -e 's/-//g'`
        chown -- "${5}:${6}" "$tgt"
        chmod -- "$p" "$tgt"
        fi
        done

and skip rsync entirely.
