I'm wondering if there's a way to rm a file that cannot be deleted by any of the regular methods. For instance, I had copied the contents of the Win98 SE reskit over from the Win98 CD to my home directory via Windows98/Samba. In trying to remove the reskit directory, one file, .nmH7Kghj could not be removed. I can successfully change the name (changed too "blah"), I can change the contents (file had an original size of 0 bytes), "chmod 777 blah" works fine (although there have been issues with it automatically reverting to chmod 655 here and there, with no reason I can divine), "unlink blah" does not work, "rm -rf blah" does not work, "chflags nouunlnk blah" does not work. When I rm or rm -rf the file there is no error message, but the file remains. "ls -ol blah" has yielded both, -rw-r-xr-x 1 777 brigg - 13 Jun 27 21:31 blah -rwxrwxrwx 1 777 brigg - 13 Jun 27 21:31 blah Running 4.3-stable Any ideas on what may be causing this, or a solution, would be appreciated.
