Hi all,

I'm running 3.4-STABLE #4.

I have a partition that originally was mounted as /usr.  But when I added
another disk, in order to get more space I created another partition for
/usr and I'm now mounting the old usr part. on another mount point (/foo).

Now I want to use the space on /foo, so I'm trying to rm all the old files,
but there are some that are r-sr-xr-x that I can't rm.  When I become root,
either via, logging in as root or booting in single user mode, and I
try to chmod u-s file, I get the message Operation not permitted.

What do I have to do, short of reformating the part., to rm these files??

Thanks,

Jim Ballantine
