Message Number: ARS0199E 

Message Severity: Error (Corrective action is required to continue)

Message Name: Unexpected empty directory in cache >directory<

Message Text:
 Unexpected empty directory in cache >/arscache/cache1/12345/ABC/<

== Related Errors ==
[[ARS0198E|ARS0198E - Invalid Ownership and/or permissions on cache file/directory]]

== What were you doing? ==
Running arsmaint -v to validate the contents of the cache filesystems.

== What happened? ==
[[arsmaint]] found an empty directory while it was validating the Content Manager OnDemand cache filesystems.  Normally, CMOD doesn't leave empty directories during regular maintenance -- it removes them when the last known object is deleted.  It may be that there was an unexpected file in the directory that prevented the removal of the directory, a permissions issue at the operating system level, or the storage device may have disallowed the operation (for example, a filesystem mounted 'read only' due to an error).

== Example ==

  Unexpected empty directory in cache >/arscache/cache1/retr/ABC/DOC<

== Troubleshooting ==
This error is very simple to correct.  Simply delete the empty directory.

  rmdir /arscache/cache1/retr/ABC/DOC

It may be necessary to delete the parent directory as well, if it is also empty.

  rmdir /arscache/cache1/retr/ABC
