Subject: bug#40090: rm seems unfinished when calling mkdir

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When I remove a folder by using rm -rfv ${TEMP_STORAGE}', shortly followed by an 'mkdir -pv ${TEMP_STORAGE}' to recreate the same folder, I get
mkdir: cannot create directory './temp_storage': Operation not permitted
It seems the rm command is not fully finished yet, somehow.

  *   I am running a Linux container on docker on Windows 10. The error occurs on a bind mount (and only there).
  *   It only happens If there is quite some data in the folder, so it seems the rm command has to take some time
  *   Other commands like ls and such can be run in between, but if I do 'sleep 5' in between, it doesn't occur (though obviously I don't want to do that every time).

Thanks,
