Title: [e2fsprogs_apps] chattr command - Inappropriate ioctl for device ...
Post by: bigpcman on May 28, 2010, 12:48:43 PM

It looks like chatter can't set "i flags" on files in the tempfs file system.

If I create a test file in /home/tc and try to perform a "sudo chattr +i test" operation I get:

Code: [Select]

Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on test

However if I do the same thing on a test file in /mnt/sdb1 it works.

Not completely unexpected, seeing as chattr is an e2fsprogs tool. Not sure if any other fs than ext* support those attributes.
