Exec Format Error, can't delete some problematic directories

Featured Replies

Hi.  I don't mind deleting the folders entirely, even with  data.  I executed rm -rf foldername, and still got "Exec format error."  I tried deleting them from midnight commander, still cannot delete the folders.

 

Hope you can help.

Anyone?  Just want to get rid of these problematic directories.

Does rm work on other folders / files?  If not, sounds like its corrupted / bad memory (memtest to check).  A reboot might help

Yes, it works perfectly for other folders. It's only on those few folders that this error shows up.

In windows explorer, I am able to delete the folders, then they return after refresh. Never fails :-)

Sounds like file corruption.  Maybe post diagnostics (or the filenames contain some really weird characters)

Yeah. I would like to just delete them totally, but I can't. Hey keep on coming back, or, an error in command will happen when I execute in Linux.

What type of diagnostic do I post? Does unraid diagnostic show failed file deletions? Folder names are very plain. As in there are no weird characters, and pretty short only. E. G. Family Man.

If its corruption, the syslog may show it.  Hard to say
