Description

Assuming the dfs commands follow POSIX standards, there are some problems with the DFS rm and rmr commands. I compared the DFS output with that of RHEL 4u5:

In both cases, if the file/directory does not exist, it will not give any indication to the user.

1. rm a file/directory that does not exist:
Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory
DFS: rm: /testarea/two

2. rmr a file/directory that does not exist:
Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory
DFS: rm: /testarea/two
