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
