I think I've painted myself into a corner.  My root subdirectory has
gotten full.  When I built this linux, /opt and a couple other subdir
were installed as separate mount points.  Now, I'd like to move var to a
separate dasd/mount point.  When I try to rm the var subdirectory, I use
the -rf command.  However, 5 subdir's won't delete. They are:

`var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/statd'                                
`var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/portmap'                                
`var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs'                                
`var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/mount'                                
`var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/lockd'

I get an "operation not permitted" message.  I figure that maybe there
is a task running, so I go and kill some tasks that look like they might
be related to this, but still no luck.  I need to remove this subdir so
I can mount the new one (var).  I do not have a 2nd linux running
therefore, I cannot mount this disk to a 2nd one and delete var.
Basically, all I have is a linux command line in a 3270 session. I can't
putty into this linux under existing conditions.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks,
Steve
