and what's with this time stamp value?
When I boot this machine it gets to a point where it says something
like 'Wiping /tmp...' and then I see a message 'Unable to remove
./jack' and then something about the device or directory being busy.
When I log in as root and try to remove it by hand this is the
results:
lightning tmp # ls -la
total 24
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 8192 2008-06-28 07:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 2008-05-04 18:23 ..
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-06-28 07:10 .ICE-unix
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 2008-06-28 00:10 jack
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 11 2008-06-28 07:10 .X0-lock
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-06-28 07:10 .X11-unix
lightning tmp # rm -rf jack/
rm: cannot remove directory `jack': Device or resource busy
lightning tmp #
Two questions to start:
1) If /tmp/jack is really busy then who is using it? This machine was
cold booted 9 minutes ago and Jack (the sound connection machine)
isn't running:
lightning tmp # ps aux | grep jack
root 5635 0.0 0.0 4096 696 pts/0 R+ 07:20 0:00 grep
--colour=auto jack
lightning tmp #
Try lsof: "lsof /tmp/jack" or "lsof | grep jack" since I'm not sure if
lsof works on directories alone.
Also, are you sure /tmp/jack is empty? Did you "ls -a" ?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
