chmod ACL removal

The command to recursively remove all ACLs from the files in the working directory and its subdirectories is:

sudo echo | sudo chmod -R -E ./*

Great tip. Enjoying your blog... Where are you working currently?

was just playing around w/ chmod... seems this does the same thing and is maybe faster...?

sudo chmod -R -N ./*

Any way to remove all NTFS ACL's (except time stamps) from a drive that is mounted in OS X?
