I did not think this was a bug. If you do an lsof (list open files) on the files, you can get the process ID that "owns" the files. Typically it is a process that is still running. Killing and restarting the process should get rid of the files. At least this has done it for me every time.
I see this alot with files that get deleted and such. This is in a 25+ Sun 2.5.1 + NetApp f540 environment.
If there is a patch that "solves" this "problem", I would love to see what their patch description is.
Thanks.
