Removing "files before account reset" folder fails about kbfs

[strib]

@elexx I just merged #1763, which should fix the issue with rmdir not working for pre-reset folders, in the next Keybase release.

[strib]

Try rmdir.

[elexx]

Thanks for the fast reply, unfortunately I get the same error.

➜ rmdir /keybase/private/elexx (files before account reset 2017-10-29)/
rmdir: failed to remove '/keybase/private/elexx (files before account reset 2017-10-29)/': Input/output error

whereas ls private/elexx works fine:

➜ ~ $ ls -la /keybase/private/elexx
total 0

[strib]

Can you ignore it in the files tab of the Keybase GUI?

[elexx]

Yes. And now it's also gone from the folder:

➜ ~ $ ls -la /keybase/private/
total 0
dr-x------ 1 alexander root 0 Aug 28 15:31 elexx

Is this a bug, do you want me to keep the issue open?

[strib]

Cool. rmdir should be doing the same thing as the ignore, so I guess there's some bug there. If you're willing to do a keybase log send, I can try to figure out what was causing the I/O errors.

(rm -rf wouldn't work because pre-reset folders are read-only, so individual files can't be removed. We made rmdir work specially for exactly this case.)

Just uploaded the logs. The log ID is 06707deaca9cfb720e51c41c

In case it help, I was using rmdir (GNU coreutils) 8.28 when I got the error.
