rm as root: Permission denied

Hey there,
I've got a strange problem. I had a subdomain called old and so also a folder in:

Quote

/var/www/virtual/domain.tld/old/*

From admin panel I removed the subdomain, all worked without problems, only that the folder old (now empty) still exists. So I logged into ssh as root, tried to remove it and got this message:

Quote

rm: cannot remove `old': Permission denied

I also changed the folder permissions to 777, the user/group to root and something else and set the force parameter to rm (rm -Rf), but nothing helped. Does anyone have an idea where the problem could be?

Thanks!

Hi Ninos,

have you checked the directory for the purpose of chattr (immutable bit)?

tried chattr -R -i old but didn't solve my problem

okay, really strange,
I would check the file system.

I'll set it tonight into the rescue mode and try there to delete the folder &| check the system

wow many thanks Nuxwin!
