Hi all--
I've been trying to do some cleaning of my server, and there are a whole bunch of folders and files which I cannot delete by any means. I'm accessing via a mac with SMB, and on the mac side it says a file is "in use". When I ssh into the server to try to manually delete files using "rm -r" or "rm -rf" I get "Directory not empty". What does this mean? I've had this server running for 2+ years now, and there have consistently been files I just cannot move or delete no matter what, as root or otherwise. Is there no way to force the system to trash these as a root user? It seems like every other system i've ever worked on has a way to say "JUST F***ING DELETE IT" except for freebsd...
