By means that are best not admitted to, I managed to mark a large chunk of my filesystem append-only, including symlinks. I cleared the flag from all the normal files and directories, but chattr and lsattr don't want to operate on symlinks. They say things like: $ sudo lsattr /boot/vmlinuz lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /boot/vmlinuz and I can't delete them, because $ sudo rm /boot/vmlinuz rm: cannot remove `/boot/vmlinuz': Operation not permitted Any ideas on how to clear the append-only flags? debug2fs is a little scary, and hacking e2fsprogs to allow operation on symlinks seems to affect symlink targets and not the symlinks themselves. --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
