Same thing here. Actually, I get some other reponses as well. chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on <filename> chattr: Invalid argument while reading flags on <other_filename> chattr: No such device while reading flags on <yet_another_filename> The total number of messages equals the total number of files I try it on, so there are no files that cause multiple messages. I've looked for a pattern in the file permissions of the files associated with the same error message, but if there is one I didn't see it. If someone has any clues I'd like to know. If necessary I can mail whatever extra info you think you need. TIA, -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
