[CAUTION: External Email] Hello Fellow Toasters,

I have several files that have an unusual characters in their names. Here are 3 examples.

99027496 -rwxr--r--. 1 fereyes sibyls 138284 Dec 17 2012 _Volumes_fereyes_Pm12_img12_data1_pxuser_cech3_px07-0106_Pm12_7_process_mr_AutoMR_run_9__combined_refine_001.pdb_Mon_Dec_17_15*17*10_2012_modification_0.pdb.gz 99027497 -rwxr--r--. 1 fereyes sibyls 137894 Dec 17 2012 _Volumes_fereyes_Pm12_img12_data1_pxuser_cech3_px07-0106_Pm12_7_process_mr_AutoMR_run_9__combined_refine_001.pdb_Mon_Dec_17_15*17*10_2012_modification_1.pdb.gz 99027498 -rwxr--r--. 1 fereyes sibyls 137467 Dec 17 2012 _Volumes_fereyes_Pm12_img12_data1_pxuser_cech3_px07-0106_Pm12_7_process_mr_AutoMR_run_9__combined_refine_001.pdb_Mon_Dec_17_15*17*10_2012_modification_2.pdb.gz

I would like to delete them. I have tried all the tricks I know of to delete them from the NFS client side including the usually-bullet-proof method of deleting them by inode:

ls -li

To get the inode then:

find . -inum 99027498 -exec rm -i {} ;

and this is not working.

Is there some way to remove folders/files from the NetApp itself?

Thanks, Scott

If you are on ONTAP 9.8, we have async delete.

TR-4571 – page 108

https://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4571.pdf

That allows you to delete directories (not files) from the ONTAP CLI.

Otherwise, no real way to do this.

For unusual characters, the vol language might be an issue; as of 9.5 and later, we added support for utf9mb4 characters, which can help translate those weird characters. Page 120 of that TR also covers it.

I would reproduce your issue, but I can’t seem to replicate the special characters in your list.

Done this many times from the systemshell. Also useful for searching for moved files or files in snapshots;

set d y systemshell -node <nodename> password = admin password sudo find /clus/<vserver>/<volume>/ -name "*filename*"

you can’t cd into folders in the traditional way, but you can ls; sudo ls -lhRrt /clus/<vserver>/<volume>/ .snapshot/hourly.2020-09-25_1305/<foldername>/

and then rm; sudo rm -r /clus/<vserver>/<volume>/foldername

Kind Regards, Chris
