[PLUG] Undeletable file, how to get rid of it?

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

This system does not have lsof installed.  I know that the file got 
there through the FTP server software (as a user upload), and the file 
is still undeletable when the server is not running.

I tried unmounting and remounting the share, then deleting the file 
again.  No change to the results of a delete command.

If I try to delete the directory the file is contained in, I get:
rmdir: failed to remove ‘test’: Device or resource busy

On the ownership issue:  all of the files and directories on the NAS 
mount show up as owned by root.  I have no idea how file permissions are 
actually handled in the (presumably NTFS) filesystem on the device.  But 
I was able (as root) to delete other files in that directory...only this 
single file gave me a problem.

Oh, my mistake.
