I started this post out as a plea to help me delete a file that *had* an inode, but would only allow ls and ls -i on it. No rm, find or ls -l would touch it, they *all* hung and devoured CPU time (great on cron'd find and du scripts! *;^). I was also about to bemoan the lack of clri(8),icheck(8) and fsck(8), then I remembered /com/dlf, which worked first time. Should I have run syncids or something? Can anyone explain why an innocent little file (somebody's ~/user_data/key_defs3) should suddenly go arse-over-tit like this and apparently lose it's connection between it's Domain id and it's unix id??? This is at sr10.1, BTW. bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bob nutter, computer officer | "That's a good example to your children, UMIST dept of computation | lying on national TV!" po box 88 manchester m60 1qd uk | -Jello Biafra talking to Tipper Gore tel:+44 61 200 3386 | on Oprah Winfrey email:b.nutter@umist.ac.uk |
