Hi Arturo,

thanks for your quick reply.

Like described in my example, there is no reference to C_TestChain.


# nft delete chain filter C_TestChain
Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy
delete chain filter C_TestChain

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

what is left and can we delete it via an complete flush?

# nft list table filter -na
table ip filter { # handle 2
    chain FORWARD { # handle 1
        type filter hook forward priority 0; policy accept;
    }

    chain vpn_master { # handle 2
    }

    chain C_TestChain { # handle 5
    }
}

# nft flush ruleset
Segmentation fault

Regards, Eike
