E.g.: lrwxrwxrwx 1 emagiro EEI-ATusers 45 Jul 14 11:57 .#common.mk -> emagiro@EV0016D4A35054.eemea.ericsson.se.4708 in a dired buffer, and which I cannot remove: makesystem> rm -f .\#* rm: cannot remove `.#common.mk': Permission denied The process is still running indeed, but the lock/link doesn't go away when I kill the buffer, or even exit emacs, as shown with this one (elsewhere): bin> ls -la .#select_config.pl lrwxrwxrwx 1 emagiro EEI-ATusers 45 Jun 26 16:09 .#select_config.pl -> emagiro@EV0016D4A35054.eemea.ericsson.se.4620 This process has gone long ago! The reason is the same I guess as the one for which I cannot remove the link from the command line, and has to do either with the fact the file system is CIFS mounted from a NetApp filer, or with the fact this is not its real name. I can access this filesystem from unix as well, and there, it looks different, and I can remove it: makesystem> ll .\#* -r-xr-xr-x 1 emagiro at1 299 Jul 14 11:57 .#common.mk.lnk makesystem> rm -f .\#* makesystem> ll .\#* .#*: No such file or directory Gone now from the cygwin view as well. But I understand this is the *old* symlink implementation, as a file with a funny name, instead of as a reall sym link, incurring the performance penalties, etc. So, my next move now will be to set a find-file-hook to check whether I am in a ClearCase view, and if so, to make purify_flag buffer-local and set it to t. I'll report my results...
