Re: Root filesystem full; faubackup problem? [SOLVED]

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

Just two remarks:

in order to see hidden files (*nix: the ones with a . at the beginning
of their names) there is the -a switch of ls, e.g.,

  ls -la /maxtor

to remove also the hidden files can become a little arduous, for a start use

  rm -rf .??*

this will avoid to remove the directory itself (.) and the parent
directory (..). But one can easily think up names of hidden files which
would not be removed by this command.
