    Oh… That sounds like a nightmare. How do you even fix that? There’s no “revert the entire filesystem’s permissions to default” button that I’m aware of

      I think they had to reinstall. It was part of a Hadoop cluster and that was extra finicky.

      If you are lucky your system is atomic or has other roll back feature. Otherwise it’s reinstall time.

      I guess you could set up a fresh system, run a script that goes through each folder checking the permission and setting it on the target system.
