From: da@maigret.cog.brown.edu (David Ascher) Subject: NTFS/bash/rm -f interactions 23 Apr 1997 23:04:57 -0700 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Sender: da@maigret Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I've been doing a lot of untarring, making, installing, rm -f'ing, and periodically when rm -f'ing I get the following message: rm: WARNING: Circular directory structure. This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system. NOTIFY YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER. Cycle detected: groff-1.10/mm/mm is the same file as groff-1.10 Now, I'm the system manager, and I do talk to myself a fair amount, but it doesn't help much. =) Is this a known bug? I can remove the folder w/ the NT tools, so I assume it's not *really* a corrupted fs, but someone tell me if I'm slowly (or not so slowly) wreaking havoc. I'm using 17.1, not patched (yet), and this is on an NTFS partition, running NT4. --da - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
