Hi, > I didn't expect to see the import-2012-07-04/ directory again and I > certainly didn't expect to see it populated with the card-2/ subdirectory. I've been moving the files to my archive disk and now import-2012-07-28/ seems to be in a pickle: ----- $ ls -la import-2012-07-28/ total 0 $ rmdir import-2012-07-28/ rmdir: failed to remove `import-2012-07-28/': Directory not empty $ rm -fr import-2012-07-28/ rm: cannot remove `import-2012-07-28': Directory not empty $ cd import-2012-07-28/ $ ls -la total 0 $ touch hello touch: cannot touch `hello': No such file or directory $ cd . $ cd .. $ ----- I can't seem to remove it. It doesn't seem to contain '.' or '..' entries but I do seem to be able to 'cd' in and out of it with bash 4.2.36(1). I also seem to be able to 'cd .' whilst I am in it. ... I tried 'umount'ing and 'mount'ing the filesystem. Now it shows up thusly in 'ls -la': ----- ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? import-2012-07-28 ----- 'umount'ing and 'mount'ing again results in the same thing. dmesg shows this for the two "re"mounts: ----- [48160.832197] XFS (sda10): Mounting Filesystem [48161.047407] XFS (sda10): Ending clean mount [48247.692309] XFS (sda10): Mounting Filesystem [48247.844421] XFS (sda10): Ending clean mount ----- Does anyone have any idea how I can remove this entry?
