How do you delete files that are seemingly missing inodes?
I have some files that appear to have no inode numbers. To complicate the matter, the filenames have UTF8 (I think) characters.
I am trying to delete them. In fact, and this might make things easier, I'm trying to delete their parent directory.
I don't know what to try next, please help.
Thanks,
Ryan
Ok here are the symptoms:
1) rm appears to have no effect. so does unlink. so does rmdir on the parent directory.
2) More pushy rm options lead to more mystery:
3) Really can't find them?! Bc they think they're there:
4) How come they have no inodes?
5) fsck says everything is ok
