           Summary: File permissions not working correctly
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31-10-386
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
        AssignedTo: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: kendragonXXI@gmail.com
        Regression: No


I have two ext4 partitions, one for the entire system(P1) and the other for all
my stuff(P2). The problem occurs in the P2 partition. If I set the permission
of a file to read-only(444), I'm still able to rename or delete that file, no
matters who's the owner of the file(that's happen even when the file owner is
the root). Another curious thing is that I can rename the file but I can not
replace that file with a file with the same name(in that case the error message
that I don't have permission to do that appears.

The permissions in the P1 partition works perfect. Here is the fstab file. If
more info is needed I'm glad to give it(kendragonXXI@gmail.com)

-----------------------------------------

cat fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
