| |
When cvs using ssh crashes, there are some weird character and block device files created that I cannot alter. For example, in the CVS directory:
br--r-srwT 1 29282 25972 105, 103 May 20 2031 Entries
This happened without my paying attention and the root fs needs to be cleaned up because now cvs cannot do anything because the tmp directory is full. "rm", "chmod", etc... are totally useless on these files. fsck did detect problems and I had the "autofix (-y)" option on with the fsck run, but although it completed happily, did not alter anything so I could clean the filesystem.
Other than reformatting, is there another way around this problem and avoiding it in the future.
Thanks, Scott
