[Balug-talk] A stuck directory problem

[Andy W. Schmeder]

Hi all

I have a question about a very silly situation.

There is a directory in my homedir called '.Trash'.  The *directory* is 
3.2 gigabytes -- it does not contain any files....  and I can't delete 
it... rm -rf, rmdir, root permissions, nothing will work.

rm -rf says this:

rm: cannot remove directory `.Trash': Directory not empty.

My backup system is choking on this file because its too big, and I 
can't get it to go away.

I suspect that the file was created by Mac OS/X Finder via the SMB mount 
(the homedir is hosted on my Debian server), but Finder refuses to 
acknowlege its trash, and rm on the Mac cannot delete it, either.

Please help!


Frustrated,
Andy.
