can't remove directory
Hi! some months ago I'm install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my PC. When I do it I set default partition size. For example /var has 256 Mb. After some time I found that It is too small for me. I move a lot of directory to /usr and make symlinks to it: mkdir /usr/var mv /var/tmp /var/mail /var/log /usr/var cd /var ln -s /usr/var/tmp ln -s /usr/var/mail ln -s /usr/var/log All of this working nice, except one: I cant remove /var/tmp. Only rename working. In this directory placed one dyeless directory /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty. How can I remove this directory? I try to fsck -y in single user momde, I trying rm -rf /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty in single user mode with only /var mounted. But All of this useful. -- Sensory yours, Eugene Minkovskii , ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
