    I'm getting strange files (e.g. .nfs7959)on a nfs mounted filesystem with 64-bit AIX 5.3. Nsf problems?

    eijkhout@champ01 ~/Software/petsc %% ls -al petsc-ddev/python/BuildSystem/total 16
    drwx------ 2 eijkhout support 4096 Mar 28 00:02 ./
    drwx------ 3 eijkhout support 256 Mar 27 23:59 ../
    -rw------- 1 eijkhout support 1100 Mar 27 23:34 .nfs7959

    As a result I can not delete that directory.

    What has happened is that you have deleted a file that is in use and NFS handles this by renaming the file until the last close occurs. When the file is closed, the renamed file will be removed.
