According to Rodolfo Medina,
Hi.
When I try to remove a certain directory from my pendrive,
the following error message appears:
$ rm -vr to-be-removed
rm: WARNING: Circular directory structure.
This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system.
NOTIFY YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER.
The following directory is part of the cycle:
`to-be-removed/News/to-be-removed/News'
. Do I have to throw it away, or is there a way to repair it?
Thanks,
Rodolfo
You can try formatting it, e.g. mkfs.vfat /dev/mypendrive
A side note/tip: It can be good to mount these types of
drives with -o sync. I've pulled out my usb flash drive by
mistake before it was really done because without option
sync cp and mv would return as soon as the operation was
queued.
