nfs mount and links removal problems.
Ok, so I have an nfs mount setup and within it there are symbolic links to other directories and such.
So anyways I created a link to a directory like so
ln -s /var/stuff/more/stuff/here/ stuff/
and i ended up with directory stuff with link 'here' inside.
so i was pieved and decided redo and
rm here
no good says its a directory, so i try
rm -ri here
and it wants to delete all the files in the normal directory, Why cant I just get rid of the link.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
figured it out, Before when using tab completion it added a '/' to the end of the link name.
so rm here/ didnt work but rm here did.

mount.nfs
MOUNT.NFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT.NFS(8) NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
