Public bug reported:
I have a file directory structure that consists of folders with the date
(in format of year-month-day), subfolders with the hour, and then about
1,000 files in each hour subdirectory (about 24,000 files in each date
dir). When trying to remove the folders with a command such as "rm -Rf
~/2009-06-28/" the command will remove about 14,000 of the files, and
then the system will completely lock up requiring a manual restart.
This is on a brand new install of jaunty 9.04 64 bit.
I think the rm command is a built in part of the kernel, so I don't really know
what package to list.
