Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I use a USB key to transfer files between my printer/scanner and my |
4 |
computer. This all works fine except that I am unable to delete empty |
5 |
directories on the USB key. |
6 |
|
7 |
The following applies to both user 'hilco' and 'root'! |
8 |
|
9 |
centaur usb # mount |
10 |
<snip/> |
11 |
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=hilco) |
12 |
centaur usb # find . |
13 |
. |
14 |
./APR-13-2011 |
15 |
<snip/> |
16 |
./AUG-05-2011 |
17 |
centaur usb # rm -rf * |
18 |
rm: cannot remove `APR-13-2011': Directory not empty |
19 |
<snip/> |
20 |
rm: cannot remove `AUG-05-2011': Directory not empty |
21 |
centaur usb # mkdir xyz |
22 |
centaur usb # rmdir xyz |
23 |
|
24 |
(I should note that any files in the MMM-DD-YYYY directories *are* removed.) |
25 |
|
26 |
I could reformat the USB key of course but I would prefer to be able |
27 |
to simply delete old directories. |
28 |
|
29 |
Any ideas what might be causing this? |

Cheers, |
