[Ocfs2-tools-users] deleting a file on OCFS2

[Sunil Mushran]

The file could be in use in the cluster. If so, rm will merely
unlink the file from the current directory and move it into
the orphan directory.

Only when the last process in the cluster stops using that file,
will it be deleted.

To see such files unlinked/inuse (aka orphan) files, do:

$ debugfs.ocfs2 -R "ls -l //orphan_dir:0000" /dev/sdX

0000 is the first slot. 0001, 0002... to the number of slots
in your fs. Note the name of the file is munged. But the size
and other inode attributes may help identify that file.
