Empty directory can't be removed, "not empty"
Hello,
After an improper shutdown (power loss), I got one of these again:
# ls -la junk/ total 0 drwx------ 1 rm rm 4152 Oct 5 18:44 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 Oct 5 19:10 ..
# rm -rvf junk/ rm: cannot remove `junk': Directory not empty
The kernel version is 3.4.18.
If this helps, initially it was a Chromium browser profile directory; and it had nodatacow files in it (chattr +C).
How to actually remove this directory now?
