Eugeny, Don't panic!! I'm CC'ing this to Bugtraq in case some aren't aware of this (very simple) solution: use rm -d (as superuser) on the top-level directory. Then run fsck to free the unreferenced inodes below it in the 'tree'. Andrew -- "The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." (Andrew S.
