Hi all, I use a USB key to transfer files between my printer/scanner and my computer. This all works fine except that I am unable to delete empty directories on the USB key.
The following applies to both user 'hilco' and 'root'! centaur usb # mount <snip/> /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=hilco) centaur usb # find . . ./APR-13-2011 <snip/> ./AUG-05-2011 centaur usb # rm -rf * rm: cannot remove `APR-13-2011': Directory not empty <snip/> rm: cannot remove `AUG-05-2011': Directory not empty centaur usb # mkdir xyz centaur usb # rmdir xyz (I should note that any files in the MMM-DD-YYYY directories *are* removed.) I could reformat the USB key of course but I would prefer to be able to simply delete old directories. Any ideas what might be causing this? Cheers, Hilco
