Hi all,

In one of our severs (IBM AIX), we have a file in path /data/1002/ which we were not able to remove or delete using the 'rm' command. The error message we got is "rm: A1208001.002: A file or directory in the path name does not exist."

With the "-f" option, no error message was displayed, but the file is still there.

This file has a '0' byte size and when i use the command "touch A120001.002", i see two files with the same file name in that directory.

The directory listing is as below:

$ ls -l total 56 -rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 0 Feb 09 11:57 S1208001.002 drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody dba 24576 Feb 09 13:36 backup

How do I remove this bogus fie?

Thanks.
