Oh. Mr Archaic. I know! I know! When a file is deleted, the directory is updated and the reference count deleted by one. Only when the reference count goes to zero is the data that inode points to deleted. This happens when the file is closed by the last using program, not when the deletion operation occurs. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1728> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
