cleaning up lost+found
Debians,
I goofed up a little while ago and connected two SCSI devices with the
same ID. I've cleaned up the mess, but now I have a number of files
in /home/lost+found that I can't seems to remove. Not even as root!
Typical output of ls -l on that directory looks like:
b--s----wx 1 49439 5209 172, 30 Jan 21 1978 #53340
brws-wxr-- 1 24240 453 38, 90 Jul 7 1924 #53353

Totally weird, that is. I've moved the original and created a new
lost+found with the same owner.group and permissions as the original
but would like to get rid of the gunk above. Any ideas how?
I've tried chown'ing and chmod'ing, but all I get is
chown: <filename>: Operation not permitted
Trying to rm -rf gives
rm: cannot unlink `<filename>': Operation not permitted
TIA,
