Hi Francois,

We had something similar a few months back - I suspect a bug somewhere.

Basically files weren't getting removed from the OST.  Eventually, we mounted as ext, and removed them manually, I think.

A reboot of the file system meant that rm operations then proceeded correctly after that.

Cheers,
Alastair.

Nedbank - IT Information Security Department (ISD) There isn't a recycle bin, but filenames are deleted from the filesystem quickly and the data objects are deleted in the background asynchronously (with transactions to prevent the space being leaked).  If there are a lot of files this may take some time, rebooting will not speed it up.
