Q. How to erase whats on an UNRAID volume  ((Yea, i know, should be simple))

 

(It wont erase due to .DS_STORE and other "dot" files using AFP. samba or the managemt tools.....)

I have one massive directory and it has invisible files that need dealing with.... and wont delete - no matter what i do. Drive is Disk2..... Tried setting everything to unlocked and del .ds_store files, and now it complains i dont have correct permissions to delete a contained file.... nothing has worked. Including trying to get the .ds_store cron task working (I dont think i have succeeded in getting it to run looking at logs..)

 

Id just format that drive, but that seems a bit more than should be required.

Can you use RM? Im unshure of the unix basics to do this

 

((I dont want to kill more than im trying to!)) - Thanks for the help!

 

 

To see what will be removed, type:

find /mnt/disk2/ -xdev -depth -mindepth 1 -exec echo {} \;

 

To actually do the remove:

find /mnt/disk2/ -xdev -depth -mindepth 1 -exec rm -Rf {} \;

(The "echo" is replaced with "rm -RF")
