E.g., cd /cdrom ls [Nothing -- cdrom is not mounted] mkdir foo cd foo rmdir . [rmdir: .: Invalid argument] # failure for superstitious reasons rmdir /cdrom/foo # succeeds /bin/pwd [pwd: No such file or directory] # duh, which file or directory? Any other behaviour would be surprising (and the failure to remove "." is surprising) because it's the inodes that may be busy, not the directory entries that point to them. Not failing with EBUSY for union mounts may actually be useful. Bruce
