I guess I should have included this output too: # ls -al total 124 drwx------ 2 rmf other 5 Aug 9 05:26 . drwx--x--x 148 rmf other 283 Aug 9 05:40 .. -rw------- 1 rmf other 26616 Apr 16 00:17 bayes_journal -rw------- 1 rmf other 1938 Apr 15 04:03 user_prefs
This isn't an unprintable character thing - find would not report errors because of that (I would have never seen this if find didn't spew out the error). It's definitely a directory entry that doesn't point to anything. It's really in this funny state that various things think something is there, and others don't think something is there at all. # ls bayes.lock.router.3981 bayes_journal user_prefs # touch bayes.lock.router.3981 touch: bayes.lock.router.3981 cannot create # rm bayes.lock.router.3981 bayes.lock.router.3981: No such file or directory # touch test # ln test bayes.lock.router.3981 ln: cannot create link bayes.lock.router.3981: File exists # pwd /home/rmf/.spamassassin # cd .. # rm -r .spamassassin bayes.lock.router.3981: No such file or directory rm: Unable to remove directory .spamassassin: File exists The filesystem gods do taunt me... :) -r This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
