When stracing, it was reported to be an illegal seek. Furter trouble shooting relealed that rm -rf failed as it was a btrfs subvolume. The error does not reflect this at all. After btrfs subvolume delete /storage/vmware I was able to rm -rf /storage Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create a btrfs subvolume 2. rm -rf /path/to/subvolume 3. Actual Results: rm -rf reports directory not empty (but it is) Expected Results: expected was an error that reports that it cannot delete a btrfs subvolume instead of reporting that it cannot remove a non-emtpy directory (which to the outside world shows as being emty) additional output would have made life easier. problem is that it's not always easy to remeber that it was a subvolume and there was no hint either. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
