On one machine this is fine, and lsattr shows no attributes enabled (----------), but on another machine, I ended up with all sorts of crazy attributes set seemingly randomly -- compression, experimental flags, immutable, append-only, all over the map. I tried clearing them (chattr -R = /var ...etc), but I still found a file here and there which refused to be removed, even though lsattr showed no flags for it. After a restart or 2, I saw some attributes revert back and I started having trouble removing files from /var/run and other places again. I ended up reverting back to 2.6.15.1 until I have a chance to investigate further and try to come up with something reportable. In 2.6.15.1, attributes didn't work at all, giving an ioctl error, though the same kernel options were used. I suspect this is the fix to which the Changelog is referring. I must wonder if I'm suffering from some sort of fs corruption which only manifests itself in the attribute settings, and which a reisefsck doesn't recognize or correct. I could be tempted to recreate the filesystems from scratch to see if they still have issues. -- John M Flinchbaugh [email protected]
