Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG For some reason I cannot remove a directory even though there are no files in it. I recently had to run "fsck" manually as my machine had a "kernel panic" . These events must be related. Here's some output of what's happened: /usr/ports/textproc/aspell/work/aspell-.33/scowl/r # ls -al total 2 drwxr-xr-x 3 500 500 512 Mar 1 20:30 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 500 500 512 Mar 1 20:30 ../ /usr/ports/textproc/aspell/work/aspell-.33/scowl # rmdir r rmdir: r: Directory not empty Any ideas what might be causing this?
