Re: [PLUG] Can't delete a directory..Help!

Actually, that's about 50 megabytes.
If it is that big, it makes sense that it will take a while. So, it might not really be hanging; it might just be working. Run top in another console, and you'll likely see
rm at the top of the list. Try to just let rm run for a while.

Hello All
I have an NFS mounted filesystem and I can't delete a user's .directory..
rm -rf hangs and an ls -al hangs as well..
Have any thoughts on how to fix my problem!
Here is an ls -al of the directory
$ ls -alrt
total 53176
rwxr-xr-x 3 dan users 80 Oct 27 12:33 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 6 dan users 1024 Oct 28 10:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 dan users 1170432 Oct 28 10:13 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 dan users 53208064 Oct 28 10:39 .jobdb-BAK <<Want to delete this guy
Also am I correct in thinking that this .jodb-BAK directory is on the order of 50GB in size??!
commands that I have tried
rm -rdf .jobdb-BAK/
and any type of ls just sits as well
Thanks for any help!
Dan
