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
