[Lxc-users] A lxc guest's file cannot be removed.

[Dwight Hubbard]

I'd guess you have an attribute on the file preventing deletion.  Run
lsattr on the file and use chattr to remove the attribute.

Most commonly something like chattr -a guest/rootfs/etc/resolv.conf.tmp
will make the file able to be deleted.
