To avoid some ESTALE errors, the NFS client (for NFSv2 and NFSv3 at least) renames if you delete a file that is currently in use (in this case, the rm binary). Because the renamed file (name typically starts with .nfs) is in the same directory, this causes problems when removing directories. Once the file is no longer in use, it is finally deleted. Without sillyrename, rm could segfault after deleting itself. Maybe NFSv4 has a cleaner way to keep a file with 0 links as long as it is open. -- Jilles Tjoelker
