- Make a file or directory immutable to changes and deletion, even by superuser:
`chattr +i {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
- Make a file or directory mutable:
`chattr -i {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
- Recursively make an entire directory and contents immutable:
`chattr -R +i {{path/to/directory}}`
