"rm: can't unlink 'files'",can't delete files

Post by Shi » Fri, 20 Sep 2002 14:29:28



Hi,
I copied files from ntfs partition with "cp -r" to
a ext3 linux partion.
Every source file's hard link number is 1.  However,
some destination files's hard link number changed.
Is it nornmal? What made this change?

When I tried to delete these destination files,
shell showed me "rm:can't unlink XXX :Permission denied"
(XXX are file's name).  This happened to files no matter
what their hard link number is, 1 or more.

I ran as the owner of these files, why still permission
denied?  Is there any way I can know where the other
hard link, pointing to the same disk space, is?

Anyone can tell me what caused this and how to solve
it?

Thanks

I am so stupid.....
I forget to turn on the "write" permission of the
destination directory.
After I did that, everything is okay.

1. Why doesn't echo "text" 'command' "more text" work?

                 ^                                        ^
Wrong quotes, should be -
   echo "You have" `grep Subject: /usr/spool/mail/me | wc -l` "messages."
or -
   echo "You have `grep Subject: /usr/spool/mail/me | wc -l` messages."

But, another problem is, if you've no mail, /usr/spool/mail/me does not
exist, leading grep to say:
   grep: can't open /usr/spool/mail/me
Wc will still report 0.

You might try -
   sh -c 'echo "You have `grep 2>/dev/null Subject: /usr/spool/mail/me | wc -l` messages."'

Hope this helps.
