Hello.
I am currently moving to a new log administration policy, the problem
is that there are some old logs that I would like to delete but I
can't, the error is the typical "Operation not permitted" although I
am trying to do this as root, the file's permissions are ok and there
are no special file flag activated or anything, any ideas?
