[Ocfs-users] OCFS and removing directories

[Paul Anderson]

We are running Linux AS 2.1 .27 enterprise on an EMC CX400 SAN with ocfs version enterprise 1.0.9-12.  After formatting the partitions the response from the filesystem is very slow during either read or writes.  Even worse, while we can create a directory, we are unable to delete the directory after it has been created.  Every time any directory is attempted to be removed with rmdir we get a "rmdir: 'directory name': Directory not empty" even though there has never been a write of any data to that directory.  I am just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and even better, has found a solution.

"Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
