root can not delete a directory ,why?
hi, I am completely at loss. I can not delete following empty directory as root. drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 8192 Dec 21 18:14 kolab I tried "rm -rf kolab", "rmdir -f kolab", "rm -fd kolab" but nothing works. Error message is: rm: cannot remove directory `kolab': Device or resource busy There is nobody logged on the pc except for me with only one login. Is there a way to check if there hard links on that directory? Or do you have any other idea. Any idea is much appreciated. -- Realos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, after reading up a little more, it seems all actively mounted partitions are not re-read from kernel. If partitions are umounted, "fdisk /dev/hdx--> w --> q" makes kernel re-read the partition table. regards, -- Realos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

how to cp dir and subdir but not the parentdirectory?
I like to copy all contents of a directory "testdir",i.e. all its files and subdirectories, into another directory called "temp". The problem is that the directory "testdir" itself is also being created inside the "temp" directory. How can I copy _only_ contents of "testdir" without that parent directory, namely "testdir" being recreated inside "temp"? Following is how it all looks like in my case: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 1024 2005-11-18 16:05 temp drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 1024 2005-11-18 16:04 testdir [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll testdir/ drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 1024 2005-11-18 16:05 testdir_1 -rw-r--r-- 1 user user0 2005-11-18 16:04 testfile_a -rw-r--r-- 1 user user0 2005-11-18 16:04 testfile_b -rw-r--r-- 1 user user0 2005-11-18 16:04 testfile_c -rw-r--r-- 1 user user0 2005-11-18 16:04 testfile_d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cp -drp testdir/ temp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll temp/ drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 1024 2005-11-18 16:04 testdir I know I could copy all files with "cp * temp" and then all subdirectories one by one butI would prefer a single command to do that.

sytem running out of free disk space
hello, I have a debian machine with 1.4G hard disk which is running out of space. Running "apt-get autoclean" and "apt-get autoclean" have provided me with about 100M free space but it is still too short for my server machine. I see there are lots of documentations and unnecessary things on my system (like locales I will never use etc.). Can you people point me to a documentation or give some hints how to deal with such problems in debian? I am not new to linux but have relatively little experience with debian.
