Hi,

Could you perform an ls on the directory which failed with an ENOTEMPTY and check if there are any files or directories present on the backend?

Subject: [Gluster-users] Cannot delete some folders in glusterfs 3.7.9

Dear al, 

When trying to delete a folder structure with a 3-node distributed glusterfs 3.7.9, I get following error messages. 

[root at highlander hcs]# rm -rf hcs/ 
rm: cannot remove ‘hcs/OperaArchiveCol/JF_20141204_MiniPlaqueAssay_Over_Time’: Directory not empty 
rm: cannot remove ‘hcs/OperaArchiveCol/PA_20141111_StageChallengeTest’: Directory not empty 
rm: cannot remove ‘hcs/OperaArchiveCol/JF_20141212_MiniPlaqueAssay_Over_Time’: Directory not empty

rm: cannot remove ‘hcs/ClusterAnalysis/Julia/JF_20141212_MiniPlaqueAssay_Over_Time_2015-02-02_21-04-51’: Directory not empty 
rm: cannot remove ‘hcs/ClusterAnalysis/JF_20141118_SHSY5Y_func_mito_2014-11-20_20-02-39’: Directory not empty 

Upon going into those folders, I see the rights set to d--------- and they seem empty. 

I performed a rebalance, but the problem remains. 

Could you please help me out? 

Thanks you,
