[chef] directory resource (recursive) not changing ownership below top level

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

I have a recipe and in it I am trying to change the ownership recursively of an existing directory, subdirectory and files.   I thought the Directory resource would be what I should use.   However, it only changes the top level directory…    How could I do this idempotently if the directory resource doesn’t work?

 

 

directory "/var/spool/postfix" do

  owner "postfix"

  group "root"

  mode "0755"

  recursive true

  action :create

end
