I untarred a corrupt tar file, and managed to end up with some directory
that I can not delete,
If I try to delete it, it seems like it can not be found, but ls shows it’s present, both with bash and with python I get similar behaviour, except right after I try to delete it with rm -rf, ls complains it can’t find it, then it lists it (see below after rm -rf). The find command shows the file is present,
but still I can’t think of a way to delete it.
Here are my attempts:
I have an NFS share which is shared across about two other machines. I recently realized that one of the servers isn’t sharing the directory and is keeping files all for itself. Is there a way to see if the NFS share is mounted in the directory I think it is in?
I’m running a small server for our flat share. It’s mostly a file server with some additional services. The clients are Linux machines (mostly Ubuntu, but some others Distros too) and some Mac(-Book)s in between (but they’re not important for the question). The server is running Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) ‘Server Edition’, the system from which I do my setup and testing runs the 11.10 ‘Desktop Edition’. We where running our shares with Samba (which we are more familiar with) for quite some time but then migrate to NFS (because we don’t have any Windows users in the LAN and want to try it out) and so far everything works fine.
The problem is that I have a directory which is mounted over CIFS. For this directory I want to create a NFS Share. I need this to create backups on a backup system which is only mountable over CIFS, from our ESX (But the ESX can only create backups on NFS Shared directorys with “ghettoVCB”).
I want to connect to my home server from work using NFS. I tried sshfs but some people say it’s not as reliable as NFS.
I’m transferring about 9TB across my gigabit LAN. To do so as quickly as possible (i hope) I mounted the destination via NFS on the source and ran rsync across it.
