Now that we've established this isn't a problem with rm, you might want to ask around on ext3- or LVM-specific lists. You might even want to consider using a different type of file system. xfs is supposed to be particularly well-suited to usage patterns involving very large files. Also, your kernel is rather old. Upgrading would probably pull in much newer ext3 support. > 3. Yes, we aren't seeing any hardware issues. > > I am about to perform an strace of the process and will update you on the > progress. Please Cc the mailing list with any reply, i.e., use "Reply-All". Replying to an individual (and dropping the list Cc:) like you have done two or three times is frowned upon in some circles. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
