From: Søren O'Neill on 20 Jul 2010 06:10 I have a backup folder on a network NAS drive (Verbatim running smb) There's a mozilla-thunderbird lock-file there, which I can not delete. The file is a (broken) link. Thunderbird is not running. ps -A | grep moz yields nothing.. besides which it's only a backup file I (accidentally) created to more link files linking to the original file. ls -la gives me: $ ls -l total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 soon users 77 2010-07-17 17:27 Link to Link to lock -> /home/soon/NASdrive/soon/UDISK_BACKUP/UDISK/.mozilla-thunderbird/Link to lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 soon users 69 2010-07-17 17:27 Link to lock -> /home/soon/NASdrive/soon/UDISK_BACKUP/UDISK/.mozilla-thunderbird/lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 soon users 15 2010-07-17 13:47 lock -> 127.0.1.1:+2620 if I then try to delete with rm: $ sudo rm -fv ./* [sudo] password for soon: removed `./Link to Link to lock' removed `./Link to lock' removed `./lock' so it seems successful, but alas, ls -la still lists: ls -l total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 soon users 77 2010-07-17 17:27 Link to Link to lock -> /home/soon/NASdrive/soon/UDISK_BACKUP/UDISK/.mozilla-thunderbird/Link to lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 soon users 69 2010-07-17 17:27 Link to lock -> /home/soon/NASdrive/soon/UDISK_BACKUP/UDISK/.mozilla-thunderbird/lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 soon users 15 2010-07-17 13:47 lock -> 127.0.1.1:+2620 .... i.e no change. Furthermore, I'm unable to delete the parent folder (not empty). Funny thing is, if I look at the folder from a windows box, the link-files are not there, but I'm still not able to delete the parent folder (no errors). This is how the NAS drive is mounted (fstab): //192.168.1.20/soon /home/soon/NASdrive/soon/ cifs username=soon,password=****************,uid=soon,_netdev Any ideas, what may be wrong?
