and what's with this time stamp value? When I boot this machine it gets to a point where it says something like 'Wiping /tmp...' and then I see a message 'Unable to remove ./jack' and then something about the device or directory being busy. When I log in as root and try to remove it by hand this is the results:
lightning tmp # ls -la total 24 drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 8192 2008-06-28 07:12 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 2008-05-04 18:23 .. drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-06-28 07:10 .ICE-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 2008-06-28 00:10 jack -r--r--r-- 1 root root 11 2008-06-28 07:10 .X0-lock drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-06-28 07:10 .X11-unix lightning tmp # rm -rf jack/ rm: cannot remove directory `jack': Device or resource busy lightning tmp # Two questions to start: 1) If /tmp/jack is really busy then who is using it? This machine was cold booted 9 minutes ago and Jack (the sound connection machine) isn't running: lightning tmp # ps aux | grep jack root 5635 0.0 0.0 4096 696 pts/0 R+ 07:20 0:00 grep --colour=auto jack lightning tmp # 2) The machine hasn't run Linux in a couple of days. If I booted this morning at 7:10 AM then how can /tmp/jack have a time stamp of 00:10? There is nothing in /tmp/jack and I'd like to remove it and get rid of this boot message. (The message has been there for months. Nothing new. Just finally got tired of seeing it!) Thanks in advance, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
