[OpenAFS-devel] why does repeated attempted deletions of non-empty dirs slow down in afs?

[Neulinger, Nathan R.]

A simple command I occasionally use to clean up trees of dirs is:

	find base -type d -depth -exec rmdir {} \;

which should get rid of any empty directories. This works fine in AFS,
however, it's really slow. After it tries to delete a couple of non-empty
directories, it starts crawling. Has anyone else seen this? Is it triggering
any sort of 'bad request back-off' mechanism in the servers or client
perhaps?
