Do you have a link to another filesystem buried in there? I've had links across filesystems and devices do this before. Try to find out what/where this link is, manually unlink it, and then 'rm -rf' the darn directory. Have you tried a thorough, manual fsck on this partition yet? Perhaps it's a physical disk error. # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
