Hi
I have a Problem, that an Application has create an link from a dir in /tmp/.nZy5Ua to /tmp.

So i can not remove the .nZy5Ua Directory without deleting the /tmp Directory

du -a

/tmp/.nZy5Ua
/tmp/.nZy5Ua/.nZy5Ua
/tmp/.nZy5Ua/.nZy5Ua/.nZy5Ua
/tmp/.nZy5Ua/.nZy5Ua/.nZy5Ua/.nZy5Ua

How can i remove this linked Directory ?????????

 

[LeDam]

unlink /tmp/.nZy5Ua

It's an application that has create this link??? It's stupid and very dangerous!

It is not so easy....;->
unlink does not work directory is busy...;->
I have changed the /etc/filesystems
now i mount the /dev/hda3 on /tmp1 and reboot the machine, then i can remove the Directory.

But i think there must be another way.
