Hello OSF-Managers,
We have an AlphaStation 400 4/233 with DU3.2 and running
Pathworks 5.0f (LanManager 2.2) on the top.
I copied some shares from one disk to another, and used "rm -r
<directory>" to delete the original data. Then, in place of the original
directory, created a symbolic link "ln -s ...." to keep the Pathworks share
paths happy.
This worked fine with four of the five shares that I moved.
Unfortunately, when using "rm -r <directory>" on the last, everything below the
directory was deleted, but the actual directory was left with the message..
"rm: <directory>: Permission denied".
Attempting to use "rmdir <directory>" returned the message...
"rmdir: <directory>: Device busy". N.B This is not a mounting point for the
disk.
Without removing the directory I cannot create the symbolic link.
To get round the problem, I have recreated the share with a new path
pointing to the copied data, but I still have a directory which I cannot remove!
Any ideas on how to remove this directory???Please?
