That's odd -- the only way the 'rm' should fail is if it can't read the znode for that file. The znode is metadata, and is therefore stored in two distinct places using ditto blocks. So even if you had one unlucky copy that was damaged on two of your disks, you should still have another copy

Great point. Hadn't thought of it in that way. I haven't tried truncating a file prior to trying to remove it. Either way though, I think it is a bug if once the filesystem fills up, you can't remove a file. Brad On Thu, 2008-06-05 at 21:13 -0600, Keith Bierman wrote: On Jun 5, 2008, at 8:58
