GUI displays a warning message 'Configuration Warning: Cannot remove directory with symlink to sandbox for partition...' after deleting the partition when the partition was created via Traffic Management Shell (TMSH).
Error posted to GUI. Errors similar to the following also posted to ltm and webui logs: warning mcpd[6334]: 010717ac:4: Configuration Warning: Cannot remove directory with symlink to sandbox for partition (partition_2). Error: No such file or directory. If you have access to bash shell, try to run command: rmdir /var/sam/www/webtop/sandbox/files_d/partition_2_d/.
This occurs when deleting the partition when the partition was created using TMSH.
Although there is no workaround, this is an erroneous message, and the partition is successfully deleted.
The erroneous Configuration warning (Cannot remove directory with symlink to sandbox for partition) no longer occurs if the sandbox directory does not exist. This is correct behavior. Previously, the system erroneously posted the error, but deleted the partition successfully.
