Scripts that fix dom0 file permissions and ownership?

General Discussion
#1

I keep running into an issue with file ownership in dom0.

I believe there are scripts on startup that reset dom0 file permissions & ownership.

I want to make an on the fly ownership fix script that runs all those scripts.

Does anyone have a list of scripts I would need to execute?

What is your issue exactly : which files and why it is an issue ?

I’m hacking away at simlink/binding dom0 folders to Veracrypt containers.

I’m not sure what’s happening on the backend of Veracrypt, but often when opening the container, the file permissions/ownership is changed.

I’m hoping I can open the container, bind the folders, then run the ownership repair scripts, and everything will work as it should, mount to mount.

I am not familiar with veracrypt but a quick research suggests that
ownership is a common issue.

eg:

my 2cents tip: Before looking to correct the ownership after the
container is mounted, try first to mount the container with the
necessary options so the permissions won’t change at all.
