Hello

Iam unable to delete a file.

When i do 'ls -l -a ' the listing shows the file but when i
do a rm filename, it says cannot lstat: No such file or directory.

See below...

[root@localhost test]# ls -l -a
total 24604
drwxrwxr-x 2 ajay ajay 4096 Feb 16 17:23 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 ajay ajay 4096 Feb 7 13:52 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ajay ajay 21875899 Feb 16 17:11 ALLFILE

[root@localhost test]# rm ALLFILE
rm: cannot lstat `ALLFILE': No such file or directory

Any ideas......

Thanks
ajay
