Hi, I am mounting a netapp to a server over NFS, and replicating /home of a remote server on that. Now, my rsync replication script is giving an error about it being unable to delete some files. I logged into the server and tried deleting them myself, but couldn't as well for some reason! Are these .nfs000* files somehow "special" ? -rw-rw-r-- 1 1020 1024 5.6M May 4 13:23 .nfs000000000041331100000002 -rw------- 1 root root 2.0M May 6 19:57 .nfs0000000000a56d6000000001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] .data]# rm -rf .nfs000000000041331100000002 rm: cannot remove `.nfs000000000041331100000002': Device or resource busy PS: root can create new files on the netapp mount, and they end up being owned by root (no_root_squash) option. For some reason I still can't delete those files! Regards
.nfs000* are the ghosts of departed files. For example, if you have a file handle for /home/user/foo open on an nfs client and the file gets removed somewhere else, then the .nfs* file shows up/is used by the original process until it closes the file handle.
Use "fuser .nfs*" to see which process is using it. Hugh
