Remove veeamsnapshotdata.0 file

[daereth]

Hi there,

Does anyone here know how to remove the /veeamsnapshotdata.0 the agent leaves behind?? I have one of 1.4G that I would like to remove but even root cannot remove the file. I have even removed Veeam completely from my system and I still can't remove this data.

Code: Select all

rm: cannot remove '/veeamsnapshotdata.0': Operation not permitted

Thanks!

Hi,

First of all I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that GA version will be released this week, so keep an eye on our announcements.

Secondly, if you cannot remove something even with root then you should check if the file has immutable flag set and remove it if needed:

Code: Select all

[root@centos7 ~]# lsattr 12
----i--------e-- 12
[root@centos7 ~]# rm 12
rm: remove regular empty file ‘12’? y
rm: cannot remove ‘12’: Operation not permitted
[root@centos7 ~]# chattr -i 12
[root@centos7 ~]# lsattr 12
-------------e-- 12
[root@centos7 ~]# rm 12
rm: remove regular empty file ‘12’? y
[root@centos7 ~]#

Thanks

Hi Ptide,

I totally forgot about lsattr and immutable flags, bit rusty.

Thanks for the assist and I *just* got your announcement of GA will give that a go.

Cheers,
Steve
