Hi!
On my notebook I got a strage ext3-related problem:
root at jura98 /usr/portage/app-misc/obexftp # ls -l
total 4
dr-Sr-sr-t 2 8242 15720 4096 Dec 28 1993 metadata.xml
[how this got created is beyond my knowledge, possibly because of some
random memory corruption a bad kernel patch caused a few weeks ago]
root at jura98 /usr/portage/app-misc/obexftp # rm metadata.xml/
rm: cannot remove
etadata.xml/': Is a directory
root at jura98 /usr/portage/app-misc/obexftp # rm metadata.xml
rm: cannot remove
etadata.xml': Operation not permitted
root at jura98 /usr/portage/app-misc/obexftp # rm -r metadata.xml/
rm: cannot remove directory
etadata.xml/': Operation not permitted
Running
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Using EXT2FS Library version 1.35, 28-Feb-2004
doesn't help:
root at jura98 /usr # e2fsck -f /dev/hda5
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)

/dev/hda5: 97724/1221600 files (0.9% non-contiguous), 977409/2441872 blocks
Does anybody have any idea on what could be done?
Thanks,
Dominik
