If you can't move the whole directory, try:

mkdir /tmp2
mv /tmp/{*,.??*} /tmp2
(restart the application)
rm -rf /tmp2/* /tmp2/.??*

(it depends, of course, on the two directories being on the same partition)=
.

That approach especially works if the bulk of your files are in sub-directo=
ries  You'll only be doing work on the inodes directly in the main director=
y, and then you can take your time deleting the subdirectories from /tmp2 w=
hile your app runs.

I'll give that a shot and see what happens.  Thanks!

Cheers,
Ryan
