"ls -i" told they where using the same inodes, but had different directory entries. I forced a file system check: "fsck -f". These duplicates got mostly renamed to "*.~0". Some where copied to "lost+found". I did not loose any file. After removing the renamed ones and cleaning up "lost+found" the directory was fine again! My first try was to remove these files by "rm -i" but this removed magically both directory entries. Doing an "fsck -f" before was the right way! Thanks! -- Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
