@Ilia , I found a minor bug in webmin file manager. When i created a folder “demofolder” and inside the folder contains 2 other folders and 4 files. Now when i apply attributes to “demofolder” +T and selected “recursive” then the operation wents sucessfull and the attributes for folders got changed as expected but it also shows up an error, i know it is because that +T cant be applied to files, it only applies to folders. But then why error i mean it should simply skip the files and doesnt show error.

To fix this soft error i think there should be option to select while using recursive mode, Like Apply to only all directories, apply to only all files and apply to both all files and directories.

Thankyou

Hello,

I don’t think we need to add any extra options here. We should keep it working as chattr command does – return a clear error. Although, the improvement here is that we need to return an actual error message from chattr command. Here is the patch to address it:

Fix to return an actual error from `chattr` command
