How do I remove the directory called /. inode = 769911
If I do a "ls -ialb *"
it looks like the files in this weird subdir have the same inodes as
the real files in the / (root) directory.
I think it might have happened when another SysAdmin was working with some
Sun and Veritas Engineers trying to recover from a
disk-went-bad-during-a-move-to-
-a-new-computer-root problem. I don't know who did what, I just get to
straighten it out.
=> rm -i *
rm of /. is not allowed
