Centos - Can not remove file as Root (no error, nothing)
as stated in title, I cannot remove file from centos as the root user.
rm filename.php
rm: remove regular empty file ‘filename.php’? y
Nothing happens, file still in place
OS: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
I tried
rm -f
I also tried
find -name .... -delete .
I also checked dmesg and nothing related there.
I also made a new file in same directory and remove it without any problems.
UPDATE. I can edit this file, but once I try to remove it, file becomes empty but still there.
I checked if this file is used by any processes and its not.

From your update, looks like something is recreating the file.

Could it be Kernel bug ?
