and what's with this time stamp value? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
When I boot this machine it gets to a point where it says something |
| 4 |
like 'Wiping /tmp...' and then I see a message 'Unable to remove |
| 5 |
./jack' and then something about the device or directory being busy. |
| 6 |
When I log in as root and try to remove it by hand this is the |
| 7 |
results: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
lightning tmp # ls -la |
| 10 |
total 24 |
| 11 |
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 8192 2008-06-28 07:12 . |
| 12 |
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 2008-05-04 18:23 .. |
| 13 |

| 14 |
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 2008-06-28 00:10 jack |
| 15 |

| 16 |

| 17 |
lightning tmp # rm -rf jack/ |
| 18 |
rm: cannot remove directory `jack': Device or resource busy |
| 19 |
lightning tmp # |

Two questions to start: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
1) If /tmp/jack is really busy then who is using it? This machine was |
| 24 |
cold booted 9 minutes ago and Jack (the sound connection machine) |
| 25 |
isn't running: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
lightning tmp # ps aux | grep jack |
| 28 |
root 5635 0.0 0.0 4096 696 pts/0 R+ 07:20 0:00 grep |
| 29 |
--colour=auto jack |
| 30 |
lightning tmp # |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
2) The machine hasn't run Linux in a couple of days. If I booted this |
| 33 |
morning at 7:10 AM then how can /tmp/jack have a time stamp of 00:10? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
There is nothing in /tmp/jack and I'd like to remove it and get rid of |
| 36 |
this boot message. (The message has been there for months. Nothing |
| 37 |
new. Just finally got tired of seeing it!) |
| 38 |

Thanks in advance, |
