Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Compiler: gcc-3.2.2-3mdk.i586.rpm OS: Linux When I try to delete a directory on a smb server I'm getting following message: "Could not remove directory /path/to/dir". I have full rights and it doesn't work on full/empty dirs. If dir is not empty, everything it contains is deleted, but the directory self not. I also tried to create a new dir on the smb share and then delete it: the same error-message. I can delete the dir from shell when i close the konqueror window (still throu smb). samba-2.2.7a-9.2mdk kdelibs-3.1-58mdk kdebase-3.1-83mdk
as usual: does ldd /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kio_smb.so give you a hint about libsmbclient? Does the /path/to/dir contain any special characters (like non-us-ascii)
1) ldd ... doesn't list the libsmbclient lib 2) path was: /home/sebastian/smb/data so nothing special there I build kde without the libsmb, but does it matter, since the share was mounted using smbmount from the samba package? So the dir was there, ready to use. If it does matter, must I recompile the libs (and base?) or can I solve it in a faster way? Tnx

we'd need some strace output.
Subject: Re: deleting directory on samba server fails: Could not remove directory /path/to/dir Hi Config changed a bit from last time, but problem persisted: kde 3.1.2 (self-compiled) Description of the problem: whenever i'm on the samba share, i can't delete directories within konqueror or from shell. Only when i leave the hole share with the konqueror (so when i'm not in any dir on that share) i can delete it from within shell. Traces of " rm -fr testing" with testing a directory on the samba server. Strace with konqueror focused in the share: ******************************** 2101 execve("/bin/rm", ["rm", "-fr", "testing"], [/* 50 vars */]) = 0 2101 uname({sys="Linux", node="vm.kotnet.org", ...})

well, Device or resource busy - that's the same you get with any other software when you put it in the directory. Question is: does it work when you remove it from within konqueror. Anything else is not a bug but the way it works.
Subject: Re: deleting directory on samba server fails: Could not remove directory /path/to/dir No, i can't delete dirs from within konqueror on the samba server. I get the same error: "Could not remove directory /the/directory". I can do it on local disk, without any probs. Exact steps: 1) mount samba share to a dir 2) go into this dir/share and create a new dir 3) try to delete the new dir without even going into it: with the above error So even newly created dirs (no process has entered this dir yet) can't be deleted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephan Kulow" <coolo@kde.org> To: <blue@ulyssis.org> Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2003 2:59 PM Subject: [Bug 58045] deleting directory on samba server fails: Could not remove directory /path/to/dir > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. > > http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58045 > > > > > ------- Additional Comments From coolo@kde.org 2003-09-14 14:59 ------- > well, Device or resource busy - that's the same you get with any other software > when you put it in the directory.

I have the same problem with my Mandrake 10.0 and 9.2 box. The samba shares are mounted via fstab. In konqueror I can't delete directories in the mounted share. But at the command line I can delete them with rm -R dirtodelete/ . When I connect to the share via konqueror: smb://... I can delete the directories. Files are no problem. Mandrake 10.0: samba-client-3.0.2a-3mdk kdelibs-common-3.2-36mdk kdebase-common-3.2-79mdk $ ldd /usr/lib/kde3/kio_smb.so | grep smb libsmbclient.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 (0x4137f000) Mandrake 9.2: samba-client-2.2.8a-13.1.92mdk kdelibs-common-3.1.3-35.1.92mdk kdebase-3.1.3-79.1.92mdk thx, Michael
try lsof or fuser to find out what process is still busy on the directory
Hi! lsof told me that fam is accessing the directory. So fam ist the problem. I deactivated fam and now I can delete to directories without trouble. thank you, Michael
Hi, i can`t deleted a directory with full rights on a samba-share who was mounted in my local filesytem. lsof shows me "kdeinit" which the directory blocks. Workaround is kde-restart .... any better ideas? thank you, Cornelius
> lsof shows me "kdeinit" which the directory blocks. What does "ps auxww" show about that kdeinit process? i.e. the full command-line. The process name itself doesn't tell much.

Is this bug still present in a recent KDE version, such as 3.5.9 or 4.0.1?
If this issue persists in KDE 4.0, please feel free to reopen.
