I may have mentioned in another note that this is likely due to the introduction of journalled file systems.

Before that happens, however, a consistency check must be done on the file system. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
