It appears that lots of files have been marked "immutable" :-(

That patch contained

@@ -110,4 +99,5 @@

struct inode_operations ext2_file_inode_operations = {
truncate: ext2_truncate,
+ setattr: ext2_notify_change,
};


which enabled ext2_notify_change, however ext2_notify_change has a

It sets attributes from iattr->ia_attr_flags even
