[gpfsug-discuss] immutable folder

[Paul Ward]

HI,

I have a folder that I can't delete.
IAM mode - non-compliant
It is empty:

file name:            Nick Foster's sample/
metadata replication: 2 max 2
immutable:            yes
appendOnly:           no
indefiniteRetention:  no
expiration Time:      Thu Jan  9 23:10:25 2020
flags:
storage pool name:    system
fileset name:         bulk-fset
snapshot name:
creation time:        Sat Jan  9 04:44:16 2016
Misc attributes:      DIRECTORY READONLY
Encrypted:            no

Try and turn off immutability:
mmchattr -i no "Nick Foster's sample"
Nick Foster's sample: Change immutable flag failed: Operation not permitted.
Can not set immutable or appendOnly flag to No and indefiniteRetention flag to Unchanged, Permission denied!

So can't leave it unchanged... Tried setting indefiniteRetention no and yes:

mmchattr -i no --indefinite-retention no "Nick Foster's sample"
Nick Foster's sample: Change immutable, enforceRetention flags failed: Operation not permitted.
Can not set immutable or appendOnly flag to No and indefiniteRetention flag to No, Permission denied!

mmchattr -i no --indefinite-retention yes "Nick Foster's sample"
Nick Foster's sample: Change immutable, enforceRetention flags failed: Operation not permitted.
Can not set immutable or appendOnly flag to No and indefiniteRetention flag to Yes, Permission denied!

Any ideas?


Kindest regards,
Paul
