I didn't see anything directly pertinent about chflags.  I did do an fsck but still get the bad descriptor message and can't remove the others...

I also tried to remove the lost+found dir without luck.

Assuming the disk is still usable (how can I test this?--I'm a newbie) it seems to me that I need a more  brute force method to get rid of these files?

I searched the archives for a recent discussion (I believe on the ISP list) about users running a script that makes an end chain of directories, eg, /x/x/x/x/x/x....

Some of the remedies proposed might solve this, but I can't remember exactly what they were.  :(

Thanks,

Riley

Check the chflags man pages - there might be screwy flags ou have to
remove first before you can delete it.

otherwise i would move the top dir to some name or aother and replace it
so that new stuff doesnt go into the corrupted dir.
