(anybody else seeing this?) New version of coreutils uses unlinkat instead of unlink as previously. -unlink("tests") = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) -open(".", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 -lstat64("tests", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 -chdir("tests") = 0 -lstat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 -open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|0x80000) = 4 -fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 -fcntl64(4, F_GETFD) = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC) -getdents64(4, /* 2 entries */, 4096) = 48 -getdents64(4, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0 -close(4) = 0 -fchdir(3) = 0 -rmdir("tests") = 0 +lstat64("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 +SYS_327(0xffffff9c, 0xbeed8f06, 0xbeed8c50, 0x100, 0xbeed8f06) = 0 +SYS_328(0xffffff9c, 0xbeed8f06, 0, 0, 0x40148000) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) +SYS_322(0xffffff9c, 0xbeed8f06, 0x28900, 0, 0x40148000) = 3 +fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 +fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 +fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x28800 (flags O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_NOFOLLOW) +fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 +getdents64(3, /* 2 entries */, 4096) = 48 +getdents64(3, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0 +fcntl64(3, F_GETFD) = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC) close(3) = 0 +SYS_328(0xffffff9c, 0x1d1a8, 0x200, 0, 0x40148000) = 0 +write(2, "rm: rm.c:371: main: Assertion `("..., 116) = 116 SYS_328 = unlinkat rm seems works as expected, after unlinkat fails, unlinkat is called with AT_REMOVEDIR, and directory gets removed and RM_OK is returned. Why rm decides to assert anyway is complete mystery to me.
