I have looked over HFSDebug-lite 4.33, but I cannot find any way to turn block numbers into file names. Am I missing that? Also: What is a hot file? $ sudo hfsdebug-lite -H -t 20 1 641025 2123376 Kleiman HD:/Users/michael/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/data.version 2 249345 1222833 Kleiman HD:/usr/share/locale/en_US.ISO8859-1/LC_NUMERIC 3 181135 1222831 Kleiman HD:/usr/share/locale/en_US.ISO8859-1/LC_MESSAGES/LC_MESSAGES 4 138903 1222832 Kleiman HD:/usr/share/locale/en_US.ISO8859-1/LC_MONETARY 5 129709 407796 Kleiman HD:/Users/leila/.CFUserTextEncoding 1-4 I can see as being busy files. #5? That user hasn't logged in in over a year; the only place that file could be being used is as an AFP/SMB mount point, but then I'd expect to see everyone's .CFUserTextEncoding, and the others are not. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
