Subject: 2.4.6: chattr / lsattr does not work on directories anymore!
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 13:42:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010720134252.A758@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> (raw)
Since kernel 2.4.6, the commands 'lsattr' and 'chattr' do not work
anymore when applied to directories:
As root:
# mkdir x
# chattr +i x
chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on x
# lsattr -d x
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on x
#
The error message also appears when I try to get or set any of the
other ext2 flags. I need the ext2 immutable flag to protect some
of the directories on my system against accidental deletion (be it
my fault or a buggy program).
Kernels < 2.2.6 and 2.2.18 work fine.
Best regards,
Marc-Jano
