Anyone know the best practice for repairing disk permissions on an external drive on Catalina?
FirstAid doesn’t help, and the Repair disk permissions option has been removed. Some articles say the command-line command doesn’t work either, and I don’t want to risk the file system to trail and error. (I have backups, of course.)
Right now, Arq is failing because it can’t read a couple of dot files on the drive.
