Full Discussion: Can't delete directory
Operating Systems Solaris Can't delete directory Post 302109977 by Perderabo on Friday 9th of March 2007 08:24:02 AM

That link count of 3 is crazy and is probably the cause of the problem. There may be another directory hardlinked to it. You can do an "ls -lid on the directory to get the inode number. Then a "find /opt -inum..." should find all hard links. Most likely the link count is wrong and you will not find a third hard link. There are some extreme measures that might fix this, but you risk a panic if you try them. Since you cannot reboot, my advice is to empty /opt/Tivoli as fully as you can. Then
mv /opt/Tivoli /opt/damagedTivoli
chmod 0 /opt/damagedTivoli
mkdir /opt/Tivoli
and then take it from there. This is the safest of several unsafe courses of action. Operating with a filesystem that is known to be damaged is a little risky.

NAME
plmesh - Plot surface mesh SYNOPSIS
plmesh(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt) DESCRIPTION
Plots a surface mesh within the environment set up by plw3d(3plplot). The surface is defined by the two-dimensional array z[nx][ny], the point z[i][j] being the value of the function at (x[i], y[j]). Note that the points in arrays x and y do not need to be equally spaced, but must be stored in ascending order. The parameter opt controls the way in which the surface is displayed. For further details see the PLplot documentation. Redacted form: plmesh(x, y, z, opt) This function is used in example 11. ARGUMENTS
x (PLFLT *, input) Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated. y (PLFLT *, input) Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated. z (PLFLT **, input) Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values. nx (PLINT, input) Number of x values at which function is evaluated. ny (PLINT, input) Number of y values at which function is evaluated. opt (PLINT, input) Determines the way in which the surface is represented: opt=DRAW_LINEX: Lines are drawn showing z as a function of x for each value of y[j]. opt=DRAW_LINEY: Lines are drawn showing z as a function of y for each value of x[i]. opt=DRAW_LINEXY: Network of lines is drawn connecting points at which function is defined.
