I've been doing a lot of untarring, making, installing, rm -f'ing, and
periodically when rm -f'ing I get the following message:
rm: WARNING: Circular directory structure.
This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system.
NOTIFY YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER.
Cycle detected:
groff-1.10/mm/mm
is the same file as
groff-1.10
Now, I'm the system manager, and I do talk to myself a fair amount, but it
doesn't help much. =)
Is this a known bug? I can remove the folder w/ the NT tools, so I assume
it's not *really* a corrupted fs, but someone tell me if I'm slowly (or
not so slowly) wreaking havoc.
I'm using 17.1, not patched (yet), and this is on an NTFS partition,
running NT4.
