COuld u tell me why did u take some much time to delete stuff ??
According to 'time' the rm -rf command on these dirs took about 3mn 30sec - I think that's much, but as Feizhou already remarked, it's a performance matter of xfs. The ext3 deletes were somewhat faster, but I couldn't really compare as I couldn't create much of these, but doing a find|wc parallel to rm made me feel that the ext3 rm went faster.
if u know command for and rm and ls u can do it exactly the same what did u do with mkdir command. for i in ls; do rm -rf $i;done thats it. no big deal to remove that files. :)
I did rm -rf /mnt/xfspart/tmp/ where all the files were inside. I don't think, creating a single process for each occurrence would be faster (didn't try it, but I'm quite sure). One also could try 'find ... | xargs rm' to avoid bash limitations with the asterisk * and which will also just create one process. cu - Michael
