Problem:

Due to an accidental data mix-up, user data was unintentionally mingled on Nautilus App Server 2 at the /home/usersdata location by the Nautilus production support team in Stratos DC. To rectify this, specific user data needs to be filtered and relocated. Here are the details:

Locate all files (excluding directories) owned by user john within the /home/usersdata directory on App Server 2. Copy these files while preserving the directory structure to the /blog directory.

Please ensure to review the task instructions carefully and modify the commands according to your specific server, username, and other relevant details.

Solution:

1. ssh into app sever2

2. Use the find command to locate all files owned by john in the /home/usersdata directory, excluding directories.

    find /home/usersdata -type f -user john
   

3. Use the find command combined with cp --parents to copy the files while preserving the directory structure.

    find /home/usersdata -type f -user john -exec cp --parents {} /blog \;
   

   • /home/usersdata: Directory to search in.

   • -type f: Locate files (excluding directories).

   • -user john: Find files owned by the user john.

   • -exec cp --parents {} /blog \;: For each file found, execute the cp --parents command to copy the file to the /blog directory, preserving the directory structure.
