Hi Ted / LKML,

I've got this snapshot of an ext3 filesystem with a directory that
simply cannot be removed! (image below is just 1.2MB)
As root:
# wget http://users.nagafix.co.uk/~antoine/root-broken.bz2
# bunzip2 root-broken.bz2
# mount -o loop -t ext2 root-broken ./tmp
# rm -fr tmp/chroot.broken
rm: cannot remove directory (...)
Same result when trying to do anything to those files chown/chmod/touch:
"Operation not permitted"

Tested with e2fsprogs v1.39 on 3 systems.
Not sure where else to post this...

Cheers
Antoine
