Function kern_unlinkat calls namei(9) to find the parent directory of the file; it will return EISDIR if the requested path was '/'. Since '/' isn't a real link (but '/.' and '/..'), it can't be unlinked anyways. Test: # cat unlink.c #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { if(argc != 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <path>\n", argv[0]); return -1; } if(unlink(argv[1]) < 0) { perror(argv[1]); return 1; } return 0; } # gcc -Wall -O1 unlink.c -o unlink # ./unlink /etc/ /etc/: Operation not permitted # ./unlink /. /.: Operation not permitted # ./unlink / /: Is a directory -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
