I have a directory that contains one directory and one file. The problem
is that somehow it is recursive. I go into it and it contains it's own

keeps going. RM -RF keeps going. Under Konqueror, trying to delete the
directory give a status bar and it reaches up to around 15,000 folders
at less then 1% done before it freezes.
The directoy is not linked in any fashion. How can I get rid of it?
Unmount the file system and run "fsck -f" on it. If you can't unmount
the file system, running "shutdown -F -r now" will cause a reboot with
a forced fsck. That's overkill, but simple to do. What you are seeing
is file system corruption, and fsck should fix it.
