Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi-- another random question... After doing a make aout-to-elf, I found that some of the files in my /usr/obj directory were stuck there so hard I couldn't even remove them with paint thinner and a spatula. rm: aout/usr/src/tmp/usr/lib/aout/libc.so.3.1: Operation not permitted rm: aout/usr/src/tmp/usr/lib/aout/libc_r.so.3.0: Operation not permitted -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 493850 Oct 19 12:39 libc.so.3.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 547350 Oct 19 12:39 libc_r.so.3.0 So how come I can neither chmod nor remove these files, even as root?
