This would run into /proc, which can create a lot of damage depending on
what you do with the files.  The find should either be started from
/cygdrive/c/wherever_cygwin_is_installed and/or use the '-xdev' option.  In
 order to process files with spaces in their names correctly, you'd also
need to use '-print0' on the find and '-0' for xargs.

That still doesn't fix inherited ACL I think, so you'd need something else
to fix those (preferably before doing the chown).


Regards,
Achim.
