Rebooted, single user.  fsck found no problem.

Mounted /var, and tried to rm again.  No luck.
Fortunately, there's always clri around.

umount /var, clri stuck file inode, clri stuck dir inode, fsck find an error.

mount again.  dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/foo, no error

dd if=/var/tmp/foo of=/dev/null, no error

umount /var, dd if=/dev/rsd0e of=/dev/null, no error

(No, no, no.  I'll not dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0e !!!   :)  )

So, what was the problem ?

(Is it time to go -hackers, or is this the right forum ?)

PS: Please, somebody remove the "Clri is obsoleted for normal file
system repair work by fsck(8)." from clri(8) manpage.  :)
