As a workaround, instead of a recursive file resource like this:
file { "/some/dir":
ensure => directory,
recurse => inf,
owner => "someuser",
group => "somegroup",
require => Package["the package that created the files"],
}
try an exec resorce like this:
exec { "fix permissions in /some/dir":
command => "chown -R someuser:somegroup /some/dir",
require => Package["the package that created the files"],
}
The exec will be much faster, but it will run every time (adding
a message in the log), even if the files already have the correct
ownership. To get rid of the unwanted log message at the expense of
slower execution, add
onlyif => "some command to check whether there's a problem",
The onlyif command could use something involving "find" to print the
names of bad files, and "test" to see whether find's output was empty.
