Hi there,

I have a small problem, i need to delete a folder/file system but whenever I try I get an error telling me the resource is busy or the folder is not empty. I've checked the folder and it is very empty.

I'm thinking that there is a link somewhere to the folder that I don't know about, is there any way you can search for links at all?? I've tried searching for the folder name but this only brings up two folders that don't have any links to it in.

PLEASE HELP

Code:

man find # very handy
find / -type l -print # will find any links from root
find . # will list everything starting from current dir

Cheers Andy, I tried that but just got a massive list of files in /usr & /var ?

What folder/file system? Give the full path.
What OS and version?
If you are trying to unmount a file system, make sure you are not in it (that could give you the resource busy error)

Post the output of the command 'ls -la' from the folder

The folder is /tempdisk

I get an error saying it's not empty from the following commands
rm -r /tempdisk
rm -r -f /tempdisk
rmdir /tempdisk

The file system is also /tempdisk
Through smitty or via command line I get an error saying the resource is busy.
I thought I might be in it but it's not that, and no one else is as I killed every connection to the lpar bar mine.

ls -la gives back . & .. that's it.
