I AM ROOT ! Why I can't do any shit with this folder.

Cant chown, cant chmod. I don't know what to do. It is readonly and I am unable to do anything about it.

  • Someone get same trouble last month IIRC chattr solve the trouble

  • I end up rename its parent directory into something else, and copy the content into the created folder. Since I can't delete it, I have no choice but let it rot there for eternity.

    man lsattr and man chattr

  • Looks like it is immutable.

    Try:

    lsattr

    And:
    chattr -i [folder]

    Then try to delete.

    I came here to actually offer useful help, and I have been so thoroughly beaten by other weirdos deciding to do the same. THIS DOESN'T COUNT AS COMMUNITY SERVICE, @bsdguy!

    Don't you worry, after all this is LET where a concise, good answer to a question gets far less "thank yous" than an idiotic "funny gif". Just trump them with an even more idiotic and irrelevant image and you'll get hero status ;)
