Fix unRAID folder permissions

I made a slight boo-boo when trying to set the permissions of a folder and its subfolder.  I only had a single folder with wrong permissions, so I didn't use the Fix Common Problems function.

 

But I miswrote the command. Instead of writing:

find ./ -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

 

I wrote:

find /. -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

 

Effectively it started changing the folder permissions of every folder in the system from root and onwards.  I stopped it after perhaps 10 seconds, but I see now that several folders in root now have permissions "777".  I don't know what they had earlier, though.

 

My question is what do I do about this?  I saw "operation not permitted" on a whole bunch of folders (that's what tipped me that I had made a mistake), but I guess that at least _some_ have changed permissions now.  Will Fix Common Problems fix this on a root level?  If not, have I exposed the system in such a way now that I ought to reinstall unRAID?
