Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am running current from about 2 days ago. I was moving my ports directory from one disk to another and all seemed to go well except that the directory ports/games/xpat2 wasn't removed from the first disk. Even when I try to rm -R as root, it says: rm: /usr/d2/ports/games/xpat2/: Directory not empty rm: /usr/d2/ports/games: Directory not empty rm: /usr/d2/ports: Directory not empty xpat2 looks empty to me: ls -Rl /usr/d2/ports total 2 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 2048 Jul 24 18:58 games /usr/d2/ports/games: total 1 drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 512 Jul 24 19:01 xpat2 /usr/d2/ports/games/xpat2: I always worried that rm -Rf as root was dangerous. Now I can't even remove an empty directory with it. Any ideas? Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
