Hello, I have some important files in my home directory and I want to make sure that they are not changed/removed by my mistake. So I'm looking for something that prevents all programs (like rm) from changing these files even if I tell them to do so. But then on some rare occasions I really need to modify them so there must be a way of clearing these restrictions. And all that from my user account without root privileges. Normally I would set user immutable flag, which can be manually cleared in case when I know what I'm doing. The problem is that I can't get them to work on ZFS and it looks that it's not supported. Are there any alternatives or different ways to achieve my goal? I'm using FreeBSD 8.2-Release.
