If I had to bet, I would place my money on an open file issue. You tried to delete the file, but were unable to because it was being held open by another process. After the reboot, the other process was not running, so you had no problem deleting it. Did you check with lsof if the file was open by some process? > I am positive fsck -y was run several times before reporting the=20 > problem......... If it was indeed an open file issue, fsck would not see any problem. The file system structures are just fine. > I will start a memtest (hw diag) for potential memory problems. It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't look like a memory problem.
