Don't know if this will help.... but I found one thing.... Scenario.... Cd /mnt/cdrom/some_directory as a user.... su to root do some work. eject the cdrom put in a new one..... Quite often the new one is unreadable. ie cd /mnt/cdrom ls directory Mandrake not found. Obvious question is since I only did an ls why or rather how did it know about a directory mandrake. Now i exit the su ... it immediately drops back to by user. IN a directory on the previously removed CD.(even though that tree no longer exists.) In fact sometimes if I do an ls it has even given me the files in the directory of the removed CD. (Not always repeatable....) Don't know if any of this will help... hope it does. James > >
