Further documentation around ownership and permissions #427

Closed trixpan closed 3 years ago

trixpan commented 3 years ago

The documentation doesn't seem to make many comments about it, but it seems like "unresolved" (i.e. numeric as opposed to "username") uid or gid may lead to a file not to be marked as a duplicate.

Further clarification would be great

sahib commented 3 years ago

Those are counted as "bad user id / group id". See the -T option (e.g. in the manpage). If you only care for duplicates you can run:

rmlint -T df

@trixpan are you happy for me to close this issue?
