It appears to happen when you run out of either disk space or inodes. My guess is inodes but I am not sure. Has anyone else seen this? The second byte of a filename in the root directory of a file system gets stopmed on by a NULL. For example, the first time this happened (on our root filesystem) the entry for lib got wiped out bu the i getting stomped with a NULL. The next time this happened (on a mounted file system) the l in dlc got stomped on by a NULL. dlc was the fourth entry in this directory, I am not sure but I think lib was the fourth in the root filesystem. Consider this a request for moral support or a warning to others. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O. Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 (206)FOR-UNIX or 527-3385 ...!uw-beaver!tikal!ssc!fyl
