OneFS rm - Operation not permitted

Question

I'm stumped. Has anyone seen this before? What am I doing wrong? I un-packaged the OneFS 6.5.5.29 tarball (I didn't realize yet that it was supposed to be left intact) in /ifs/data and now want to clean all of that up. I'm left with various directories and files, like the one below, that give me 'Operation not permitted' when I try to rm them. isibed-1# pwd /ifs/data isibed-1# ls -led . drwxr-xr-x    9 root  wheel  203 Dec 24 15:21 . OWNER: user:root GROUP: group:wheel SYNTHETIC ACL 0: user:root allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_write,dir_gen_execute,std_write_dac,delete_child 1: group:wheel allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_execute 2: everyone allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_execute isibed-1# ls -led bin drwxrwxrwx    2 root  wheel  21 Dec 24 15:20 bin OWNER: user:root GROUP: group:wheel SYNTHETIC ACL 0: user:root allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_write,dir_gen_execute,std_write_dac,delete_child 1: group:wheel allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_write,dir_gen_execute,delete_child 2: everyone allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_write,dir_gen_execute,delete_child isibed-1# ls -led bin/rcp -rwxrwxrwx    1 root  wheel  44256 Jun 10 2014 bin/rcp OWNER: user:root GROUP: group:wheel SYNTHETIC ACL 0: user:root allow file_gen_read,file_gen_write,file_gen_execute,std_write_dac 1: group:wheel allow file_gen_read,file_gen_write,file_gen_execute 2: everyone allow file_gen_read,file_gen_write,file_gen_execute isibed-1# rm bin/rcp remove bin/rcp? y rm: bin/rcp: Operation not permitted isibed-1#

Turns out, because it was an untar of the OneFS 6.5.5.29 installation tarball, there were some files that had special flags set (chflags(1)). There were visible with the 'ls -lo' command.

Someone guided me in the right direction in the Isilon Users Google Group.

# cd /ifs/data

# chflags -R 0 bin lib libexec sbin usr var

# rm -r bin lib libexec sbin usr var

Hello, Could you please check if quota is implemented on the path where you are trying to delete data.

Try to look for immutable flags with lsattr and remove it with chattr.

I have no lsattr command. isibed-1# which lsattr lsattr not found isibed-1# echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin isibed-1#
