Unable to delete a .filepart
Hi guys,
Yesterday i was downloading a file from my laptop to n900 using winscp . but suddenly my phone restarted in between transfer. now i have a file with extension ".filepart" which now i cant remove. i followed the steps with reference to the thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46309&page=5 but in between when i try to unmount MyDocs its showing "can't umount device is busy ". please help . Thanks & Regards |
Re: Unable to delete a .filepart
Often when something like that happens, it's because there is I/O activity on the partition you are trying to unmount. Make sure nothing is running and check with listing the open files.
Code:
sudo lsof | grep <write_partition_here> Good luck! |
Re: Unable to delete a .filepart
Have you tried deleting the file as root?
