The @ at the end is the extended attribute that I think is breaking stuff. Quarantine is definitely a clueCode:-bash-3.2# chflags nouchg /Volumes/ElRaid/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi -bash-3.2# ls -la /Volumes/ElRaid/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi -rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel 315904 Oct 23 18:40 /Volumes/ElRaid/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi -bash-3.2# ls -l@ /Volumes/ElRaid/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi -rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel 315904 Oct 23 18:40 /Volumes/ElRaid/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi com.apple.metadata:kMDItemDownloadedDate 53 com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms 189 com.apple.quarantine 57
So, for the smart kids:
1. Is this what's killing me? (I'm pretty sure, but maybe you have this and you're stable...)
2. What did I do wrong?
3. How do I fix it?
If anyone can confirm or deny that they have these permissions, I'd love to compare notes.
-Still trying...
Deny.
