What means the 'T' and 't' attributes?
These are sticky bits, see command "info coreutils 'ls invocation'"
Ah, ok, thanks, found a nice list: File: coreutils.info, Node: What information is listed, The file type is one of the following characters: `-' regular file `b' block special file `c' character special file `C' high performance ("contiguous data") file `d' directory `D' door (Solaris 2.5 and up) `l' symbolic link `M' off-line ("migrated") file (Cray DMF) `n' network special file (HP-UX) `p' FIFO (named pipe) `P' port (Solaris 10 and up) `s' socket `?' some other file type The file mode bits listed are similar to symbolic mode specifications (*note Symbolic Modes::). But `ls' combines multiple bits into the third character of each set of permissions as follows: `s' If the set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit and the corresponding executable bit are both set. `S' If the set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit is set but the corresponding executable bit is not set. `t' If the restricted deletion flag or sticky bit, and the other-executable bit, are both set. The restricted deletion flag is another name for the sticky bit. *Note Mode Structure::. `T' If the restricted deletion flag or sticky bit is set but the other-executable bit is not set. `x' If the executable bit is set and none of the above apply. `-' Otherwise. Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies whether an alternate access method such as an access control list applies to the file. When the character following the file mode bits is a space, there is no alternate access method. When it is a printing character, then there is such a method. GNU `ls' uses a `.' character to indicate a file with an SELinux security context, but no other alternate access method. A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is marked with a `+' character.
Ideas?
Of course, I'll try, when the device is not needed, to connect the disk to openSUSE and try from here, to see if things are different :-?
searching for stickky bit may come up with some answers.
Sticky! I did not remember that the 't' stood for "sticky". but no, I can not remove that bit either. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
