thanks Kris an Rob for your valuable hints. With the mentioned tools I will 
check the directory against the source.

Rob, don't worry, I'm familiar with this stuff. It was only a bit late and I 
was tired when I formatted the Maint 191. I wanted to format a temp disk but I 
entered the wrong device instead. (Sh... happens)

kind regards 

Franz Josef
