Unable to delete empty directory /var/tmp/temproot
Hi, I am new to FreeBSD and recently completed my first build/installworld. Everything went fine, except after running mergemaster it seems I have a directory which I am unable to delete - /var/tmp/temproot. When I searched the mailing lists I found a thread relating to this problem but it did not say how to fix it. The problem directory as I'm sure you all know is /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty. I have tried running mergemaster again and tried deleting it from within there. I have also tried: # chflags noschg empty/ chflags: empty/: Operation not permitted chflags: empty/: Operation not permitted # chmod -R 0700 empty/ chmod: empty/: Operation not permitted Please could someone point me in the right direction with this.

Boot into single user mode, then chflags noschg empty/ Fer I booted to single user mode from the boot prompt, but was unable to do anything inside var because there were no directories there!? You have to mount them first. This is covered in the FAQ. So, I booted to full mode then did # init 1 Here, I tried as you suggested but yet again I got the same error. Also, when I boot up I have kern_securelevel=0 set in my rc.conf, which is not 0 Quoting the Fine Manual: If the security level is initially nonzero, then init leaves it unchanged. Otherwise, init raises the level to 1 before going multi-user for the first time. Since the level cannot be reduced, it will be at least 1 for subsequent operation, even on return to single-user. If a level higher than 1 is desired while running multi-user, it can be set before going multi-user, e.g., by the startup script rc(8), using sysctl(8) to set the ``kern.securelevel'' variable to the required secu- rity level. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
