Seen that also quite often on Darwin-7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9).
It occurs in two different flavours:
- When a directory has many entries, you "rm -rf" it, rm complains
that it couldn't remove everything. Wait ca. 30 seconds, retry.
After a few times, it finally succeeds.
- When a directory has hard links created through NFS or SMBFS.
(Such as doing "make install" of GCC: it creates a hard link
between bin/gcc and bin/cc, and between bin/g++ and bin/c++).
Here, "rm -rf" fails, but waiting doesn't help, and rm of one of these
always fails. What appears to work, is to "rm" the other one, or
to move one of the files to a different directory using "mv" and then
retry "rm -rf".
Quite weird.
