Description Jun Kuriyama freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2000-02-19 03:20:01 UTC 
On nfs read-only mounted filesystem, you cannot "rm -rf" for not-existed file (or directory).
Kernel should not return EROFS at that case.

Fix: Sorry, this may be broken because copy/paste space/tab issue.
How-To-Repeat: % rm /usr/bin/a
rm: /usr/bin/a: No such file or directory
% rm -f /usr/bin/a
% rm -rf /usr/bin/a
% rm /usr/src/a
rm: /usr/src/a: No such file or directory
% rm -f /usr/src/a
% rm -rf /usr/src/a
rm: /usr/src/a: Read-only file system

Yes; this seems to be simpler than I first though.  rm -f works so there
is no problem in the kernel.

I glad to see this.
Is there chance for patch to be commited?

bin/35842 should fix this.
