Can't delete folder - infinite number of subfolders

Hi,

I'm using DNS-323 with two Seagate 500GB drives configured as RAID-1 and mapped in my computer as drive N. The firmware version is 1.06

I can't delete one folder, which is having infinite number of subfolders. This looks like N:\Video\Video\Video\Video\Video\... and so on. I can rename any of those subfolders, even tried to rename all of them, thinking that the problem is the long path, but with shorter names only more subfolders appear.  :)
Windows can not delete it. The folder also doesn't take any space, according to Windows explorer, but it really bothers me - everything was perfect untill now!

I've tried to delete it via FTP, FileZilla client even starts to delete the folder, but it lasts eternally. I think the problem is probably in RAID-1.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

UPD: tried to delete the folder removing one of the disks, didn't help. But now the unit is "rebuilding" RAID-1, it says it will be done in 143 minutes. Oh God, that's scary!!!

Re: Can't delete folder - infinite number of subfolders

If you can get ffp installed, you can use the rm -r command in the shell.  It recursively deletes a directory (and all its child directories).  Be very carefull with this command, as when it is executed, there is no going back.  If you execute it on the wrond directory, it will delete that directory and eveything below it; there is no promp asking if you really want to do it.


DNS-323     F/W: 1.04b84  H/W: A1  ffp: 0.5  Drives: 2X 400 GB Seagate SATA-300
DNS-323     F/W: 1.05b28  H/W: B1  ffp: 0.5  Drives: 2X 1 TB  WD SATA-300
DSM-G600   F/W: 1.02       H/W: B                Drive:  500 GB WD ATA
