Hi,
an e2fsck-run left a few files sprinkled over the file system which seem to
be undeletable. Although the FS is mounted RW, even root does not seem to be
able to delete them.
[ .. ]
For example:
#: rm 20011112_0000_AAM_TUI_000.txt
rm: cannot remove `20011112_0000_AAM_TUI_000.txt': Operation not permitted
#: chown root:root 20051109_0000_AAM_TUI_000.txt
chown: changing ownership of `20051109_0000_AAM_TUI_000.txt': Operation not
permitted
#: chmod a+w 20061221_0000_AAM_TUI_001.txt
chmod: changing permissions of `20061221_0000_AAM_TUI_001.txt': Operation not
permitted
Any idea of how to get rid of these files? I have about a 100 million files
on that file system. "About" 30.000 are in such a state as described above.
The rest behaves normally (can be modified, deleted, etc).
Either the FS is damaged or the files are chattr'd +i, lsattr -l filename.
Are they immutable by chance?
Justin.
