(gnome virtual file system?)<br>

the find command hangs up on this directory. When I try to delete it<br>
with the rmdir command I am told the directory is NOT empty. But it is!<br>
<br>
so I tried this, as root:<br>
<br>
[root@localhost 1000]#rmdir -v --ignore-fail-on-non-empty gvfs<br>
rmdir: removing directory, ‘gvfs’<br>
rmdir: failed to remove ‘gvfs’: Permission denied<br>
<br>
<br>
So how do I push to one side whatever is in the way?<br>
