Linux upgrade chown

[tepsys]

Hello, I don't know why chown would be taking so long on these directories. Only two of these directories should have any significant number of files

Code:

find /var/cache/jellyfin -type f | wc -l
8514
find /var/lib/jellyfin -type f | wc -l
35103
find /var/log/jellyfin -type f | wc -l
39
find /etc/jellyfin -type f | wc -l
7

And these directories really should be owned by Jellyfin in order for Jellyfin to operate properly.
Are you also serving media files from any of these directory trees? Or is there another reason you would be changing ownership of files within these directory trees?

If I set a permission and something breaks, then thats on me. 

Well, I guess this is one of those times where your system broke because you changed permissions necessary for the system to operate properly.
