    Hi,

    I'm currently experiencing a weird problem : some of my folders are
    completely empty (ls -a doesn't even mention . or ..)
    But, I cannot remove them, and a ls is very very slow (but just in those
    folders, and it is quite rare, but now I cannot update firefox, nor
    openoffice, because make clean will fail).

    uname -a gives :
    FreeBSD *.fr 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Aug 26 10:12:03
    CEST 2005 root@*.fr:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386

    my questions are :
    Is it Freebsd related, or may it be a problem with my hard disk ?
    Is there a way to delete, or just unlink a folder, even if it doesn't
    appear to be empty ?

    Currently, I'm trying to make world again, to see if the problem
    desappear, but I'm experiencing a problem with groff. By the way, is it
    possible to make world without groff ? Do I need it to make my system
    run well ?

    Thanks
