> rm -rf /oracle/D01/102_64

rm: libclntsh.so.10.1 not removed. Text file busy

rm: libnnz10.so not removed. Text file busy

rm: directory lib not removed. Directory not empty

rm: directory /oracle/D01/102_64 not removed. Directory not empty

THanks Regards

Hi Prasanth ,

Sorry to say this :) I think you may need to bring down the database for removing those files ,it may be using by the database/application.


Thanks,

Both the database and sap application are down !!

Hello:

Do you have checked if there are processes running in that directory?

fuser -cu /oracle/D01/102_64

If the answer is yes, try to kill the processes:

fuser -k /oracle/D01/102_64

And try to remove the directory again.

I tried with fuser -uc.
Not showing any process id / user which is using this direcory

>WK: What about mv command to move the files.

The correct command is ln then rm.
You can only link the file up to the top of the mount point or above where you want to remove.

You can of course rename lib to libfoo and then leave that directory there. And install around it.

Hi

If you are still having problem knowing what process is using these files try installing and running lsof.

You can get the utility from here:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.78/

Once installed run lsof /oracle/D01/102_64/libnnz10.so this will tell you what is using the file

I have had issues in the past also with some oracle libraries.

I solved the issue by renaming the file by moving it in the same DIR and then this should then remove.

maybe not the best solution but has worked for me

Hi Prasanth ,

If nothing working ,can u try to umount and do remount the filesystem (as you told database/application is down )


Thanks,

rm: directory /oracle/D01/102_64 not removed. Directory not empty

Can you cd into the directory and remove files one directory at at time?

Double check oracle/Sp proesses are stopped
ps -ef | grep -i oracle

Hi,

if possible (not productiv?) go to single user mode: 'init 1' (or maybe 'init 2' is enough).
Then try again to remove.
