Subject: `rmdir .` doesn't work in 2.4
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 18:08:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010108180857.A26776@athlon.random> (raw)
Hello Al,
why `rmdir .` is been deprecated in 2.4.x? I wrote software that depends on
`rmdir .` to work (it's local software only for myself so I don't care that it
may not work on unix) and I'm getting flooded by failing cronjobs since I put
2.4.0 on such machine. `rmdir .` makes perfect sense, the cwd dentry remains
pinned by me until I `cd ..`, when it gets finally deleted from disk. I'd like
if we could resurrect such fine feature (adapting userspace is just a few liner
but that isn't the point). Comments?
Andrea
