June 18, 201214 yr I have created a couple backups of my entire flash drive, just in case it's ever needed. Mostly they were done around the time I upgraded to 5.0. The backup folders are stored on the unRAID server... before you say anything about how that is lacking a little forsight... The location they are saved in, contains things that are valuable so they are backed up in several locations. If they are ever needed, I can get to them when unRAID is down . I have a couple such folders, that I don't need to continue to keep but for some reason can't delete them. It will wipe out everything in the folder other than ldlinux.sys which it says is open by other program so it can't be deleted. It can't be open by another program though. However, now that I think about it, when I copied the files over, unRAID MAY have been running so it may have been in an open status at that time. Anyway, how do I get to where I can delete them? I am working from a Win7 machine, and the up to date specs for my server are below. I don't think this is a syslog issue, but please let me know if that's helpful.

June 18, 201214 yr Author Ldlinux is protected by the system. Remove the flag and delete. chattr -i /path/to/ldlinux.sys Sent from my HTC Vivid have to show some of my linux ingnorance here. what is the path when working from a command prompt? the disk and user shares don't show up under any dir command so what is the correct path to start from to get to the user share name or the disk share name? Also how do you deal with spaces in linux? It doesnt seem to like folder names with a space. Thanks.
June 18, 201214 yr Here's info on dealing with spaces: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/weirdchars.html What is the location of the files on the server? All shares start with /mnt/user or /mnt/disk when using telnet.
July 9, 201213 yr Author Here's info on dealing with spaces: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/weirdchars.html What is the location of the files on the server? All shares start with /mnt/user or /mnt/disk when using telnet. Well I finally got around to trying this again. I can get to the files via disk or user shares. Based on the link above here is what I typed. chattr -i /mnt/user/'Backup Items'/Software/unRAID/'need to delete'/ldlinux.sys and also tried chattr -i '/mnt/user/Backup Items/Software/unRAID/need to delete/ldlinux.sys' Both times it returned chattr: Function not implemented while reading flags on /mnt/user/Backup Items/Software/unRAID/need to delete/ldlinux.sys After which, i still could not delete the file. It says it's in use by another program. This is after a fresh boot, so nothing should be accessing it. When I had the syntax wrong, I would either get. No such file or directory .... or Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on.... I'm sure I'm just doing something simple wrong, so any more help is appreciated.
