Thanks Andrew. That's pretty much what I thought, there would at least
be something in the file. The cib.xml was empty, zero bytes. I think the
file system took a big hit, as the /etc directory got blown away too. I
have since reformatted the partition and reinstalled from scratch.

Thanks,
Doug

"cibadmin -E --force" would remove most of it, but the file would
still be there in some form and the version numbers would be retained.
