Justin,
thanks for the hint!
Yes, some of them are immutable, e.g.
00000000_0000_AAM_TUI_007.txt Synchronous_Directory_Updates, Immutable,
No_Atime, Compression_Raw_Access
Others aren't, e.g.
00000000_0000_AAM_TUI_002.txt Secure_Deletion, Append_Only, No_Atime,
Compression_Raw_Access, Top_of_Directory_Hierarchie
Got rid of them by:
chattr -i -a *; rm *
Thanks again,
Roland

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.
