chattr not working, trying to somewhat protect from ransomware.

[robbiered]

root@Tower:/mnt/user/stuff/backup# chattr +i pnlrgo.zip 
chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on pnlrgo.zip

 

This is what happens when i  try to add +i to any file.

 

Running unraid 6.12.10. Any ideas?

May not work via fuse fs, have you tired on real disk location?

Thanks Simon! That worked! The only issue is my directory is over like 10 disks, i will work to consolidate.

you may be able to use a script with 

 

getfattr --absolute-names --only-values -n system.LOCATION /dir/filename 

 

this will find real disk and can replace /mnt/user with value from above
