samba - Jun 2021 - Best practice to import folders to Samba?

I am testing to setup a new lab domain, and so far all is good. 2 DC's
and 2 file servers are now in the domain, along with 2 windows 10
clients. Everything works as planned.
Now I would like to import a large set of data files from another
production domain. I have copied some folders into the new lab
domain's fileserver, but permissions and ownership of files are wrong.
The files have retained their old GID's that does not exist in the lab
domain.
So, I am looking for a method to strip off all ACL's and other
permission related data. either before or after the import (whichever
is easiest).
Once the files and folders are "clean", I would like to put them into
a number of prepared shares where they should inherit permissions,
ownership etc from the shared folder.

I have of course checked the wiki and about 99% of Internet, but cant
find any good and recent guide. Anyone here that have some advice?

Best regards!
Anders

Hai Andres, 

You can copy everything to the new locations and then remove all old acls.

echo "Removing old ACL's"
setfacl --recursive --remove-all /srv/samba/datashare

echo "Recursively removing access to : other (guests)"
chmod -R o-rwx /srv/samba/datashare

echo "Re-apply root:root on /srv/samba/datashare"
chown -R root:root /srv/samba/datashare

! Root:root is use, so only the Administrator can create new folders and set
rights from this point.

At this point all subfolders are clear and ready for the new acl's.


Good luck. 

Greets, 

Louis
