I don't know how this happenned, but I started an scp job of my student 
homes from the old server across to the new server and walked away.  Today I 
have found that the 8 gigs of data has grown to fill the entire 320 gig 
drive, most of it being one student's directory recursively copied into 
itself...

The old server drive is failing but I can't see how this could affect the s 
copy...  I did and fschk to get it to reboot before the scp job.

The new server can not seem to rm -rf the offending folder.  I have been 
waiting about one hour, and still nothing.

Is there any other way to get this removed?

Thanks,  Jim
