- Thread-topic: BSD Flags further
Can someone explain what the actual effect of setting each flag is, namely:
arch
opaque
nodump
sappnd
schg
sunlink
uuappnd
uchg
uunlink
I've read the man, but I still don't actually understand what they do.
Also, after some are set, I've now found that even sudo'ing "no" commands in
chflags will not undo the original flag.
-rw-r--r-- 1 jeffrey admin sappnd,arch,opaque 16 17 Oct 22:54
testfile
:~/desktop root# chflags nosappnd testfile
chflags: testfile: Operation not permitted
Is there some other way to un-set these flags?
Thanks :)
All My Best,
Jeffrey
