Maybe the corruption set the "immutable" bit? To remove it: chattr -i linux-2.6.17.13/net/core/scm.o Also, have you tried running fsck on the file system? fsck should notice some wierdnesses and sort them out for you. In fact, it would be a very good idea to run it in case the corruption has file system blocks associated with multiple files or what have you. -- William Astle finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for further information Geek Code V3.12: GCS/M/S d- s+:+ !a C++ UL++++$ P++ L+++ !E W++ !N w--- !D !M PS PE V-- Y+ PGP t+@ 5++ X !R tv+@ b+++@ !DI D?
