The gist is, whenever a directory has one or more files in it, it can't be deleted. And it's pretty damn screwy that I can't figure this out with a Google search. F27 Server, F27 Workstation, i.e. Nautilus as well as smbclient With Nautilus, I click on the target dir, click the delete button, I get a dialog asking if I want it deleted permanently, and a red delete button. I click the red delete button, the target dir vanishes but a.) behind the scenes ssh'd into the server, the dir is still there b.) if in Nautilus I click on a parent dir and then back to the containing directory (refresh the directory that contains the directory I want deleted) the target dir is still there. When I do it with smbclient's rmdir command, no error. But it also isn't deleted. No errors are logged on the server or the client. I can do 'rm -rf' while logged in as the user (chris) who owns the directory and the directory and contents are then deleted. The target directory has the most permissive permissions I can imagine: drwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 266 Jan 2 16:06 test The directory which contains this directory: drwxrwx---. 1 chris smbusers 286 Jan 2 16:06 scratch [chris@f27s scratch]$ ls -la test total 16 drwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 72 Jan 2 16:41 . drwxrwx---. 1 chris smbusers 218 Jan 2 16:42 .. -rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 54 Nov 21 13:14 test1.txt -rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 529 Dec 17 00:19 test2.txt -rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 749 Dec 14 20:19 test3.txt -rwxrwxrwx. 1 chris chris 1399 Dec 5 16:50 test4.txt [chris@f27s scratch]$ So no hidden files. And yes the mount point (and everything under it) has samba_share_t:s0 so this is not an selinux problem (and there are no AVC errors). If I delete the test$.txt files, select all the delete, they really delete. And now I can delete the empty directory. Haha! What the hell?! Maybe it's a feature that users can create directories and files but can't effectively recursively delete a whole directory?? I honestly cannot wait for the OMFG moment on this... -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
