Unable to delete LARGE folder

Hello all,

I'm stumped with what should be a simple issue.

I have a folder that due to a coding error ended up with 280,000 files in
it. A total of about 3GB of junk.

I tried to delete it using

#rm -rf foldername

but it produces this error:

CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 14xxx

A google search suggested turning off the Opportunistic Locking with

#echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled

and then re-running the rm command from above

But that didn't help either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Stephen
