RE:

Hi Trevor,

check its attributes: `lsattr mirror`

check what sort of mount it is, and whether you have permission (if it's
NFS, you might be getting "squashed" as root -- you'll need to check the
server): `mount`

assuming it's a directory tree, try removing each file individually:
`find mirror -type f -exec rm {} \;`

Hi A;;

was wondering if someone could give a few pointers on what the go is
here, trying to delete a file and it won't let me

root@protein cron.d]# rm -rf mirror
rm: cannot unlink `mirror': Operation not permitted

[root@protein cron.d]# ls -Flah
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          209 Sep 27  2001 mirror

Cheers

Trevor
