Can't write to file - 'Operation not permitted' WITH sudo
- by charliehorse55
I am having trouble writing to a few files on an external HD. I am using it to store media files as well as my time machine backup. The drive is formatted as HFS+ Journaled, and other files on the drive can be written successfully. Additionally, the time machine backup is working perfectly.
Permissions for the file:
$ ls -le -@ Parks\ and\ Recreation\ -\ S01E01.avi
-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 evantandersen staff 182950496 22 May 2009 Parks and Recreation - S01E01.avi
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
Things I have already tried:
sudo chflags -N
sudo chown myusername
sudo chown 666
sudo chgrp staff
Checked that the file is not locked (get info in finder)
Why can't I modify that file? Even with sudo I can't modify it at all.
