Okay, I am totally confused. Here is the story, please bear with me: I have an eight node beowulf cluster. A home directory in node4 is NFS mounted in all other nodes, so that one can login to any node and have the home directories.
I installed bitkeeper for controling version in node 1. Then I tried cloning repository, which failed during consistency check, for some reason unknown to me. Let's say the local cloned repository directory is named my_parent. When I do: [EMAIL PROTECTED] reubendb]$ rm -rf my_parent/ rm: cannot remove directory `my_parent/tests': Directory not empty rm: cannot remove directory `my_parent': Directory not empty But then, [EMAIL PROTECTED] reubendb]$ cd my_parent/tests/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tests]$ ls -lah total 8.0k drwxrwxr-x 3 reubendb reubendb 4.0k Aug 25 10:42 . drwxrwxr-x 3 reubendb reubendb 4.0k Aug 25 10:42 .. As you can see, from node 1, the directory is empty. Login to node 4 however gives me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tests]$ ssh node4 Last login: Mon Aug 25 10:41:27 2003 from node1.phys.utk.edu [EMAIL PROTECTED] reubendb]$ cd my_parent/tests/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tests]$ ls -la total 12 drwxrwxr-x 3 reubendb reubendb 4096 Aug 25 10:42 . drwxrwxr-x 3 reubendb reubendb 4096 Aug 25 10:42 .. drwxrwxr-x 3 reubendb reubendb 4096 Aug 25 10:41 f_crashdisk As you can see, from the other node, you can still see there's a directories there, and traversing the directories, I can see the files inside it. Even more weird: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tests]$ cd f_crashdisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] f_crashdisk]$ pwd /home/reubendb/my_parent/tests/f_crashdisk So I can go "inside" the directory if I specify the name direcly from node 1, although 'ls -la' does not see it. Any help on why is this the case? I don't know if this is related to the fact that the files here are from a failed attempt of cloning another repository. But from a linux filesystem point of view, how could this be happening? Thanks in advance for any help. Reuben D. Budiardja -- Reuben D.
