Ahem. Yes, that has happened once to me. I don't know how the IT guys fixed it exactly, but they eventually deleted that file without formatting the disk or rebooting the server. The process starts with (recursively) taking ownership of said file or directory and then re-enabling the right to delete, IIRC. I've been using "noacl" mount option for that particular server ever since (also because it is slow enough as is and gets slower still when using ACL). > * Any other hints/insights that might be useful here? Not really, except that concurrent access to other files in the same directory seemed to be involved.
