Thanks Mick, I had rebooted but when I saw the file /mnt/1wire I thought the other files would still be there. When I checked all the subfolders had magically disappeared. This is good news but a little alarming that files can disappear when you reboot. I guess pseudo directories have different properties. Something else I have to learn!
Did you ever come across a owfs manual? I have found plenty of examples of code like the one I used from noveldivices but they don't give clues as to what the code does or alternative strategies. I have also found the owfs.org site which looks like it's written for professionals but I am slowly getting the hang of it be trial and error. Thanks for helping me over this hurdle ---- on to the next one.

I use owfs on RasPi and I can remember struggling with 'already present' problems, but cannot remember the details. I think that I added --nozero to the command starting owfs. One thing you should understand is that /mnt/1wire is a real directories but anything below that are pseudo directories or files created by 1wire using fuse. If you reboot the Pi then /mnt/1wire should be empty until you start 1-wire again. Can you post back with a bit more info, how do you start owfs, which adapter do you use?

After many struggles I found "Notes on the Raspberry Pi" at http://www.noveldevices.co.uk/rp-1-wire This worked with only one hitch at Step 3 the download appeared in the folder as "download" and had to be renamed "owfs-2.8p15" for the unzip to work. The programme then ran - - once. On running a second time it reported that /mnt/1wire was already present. So I had to create 1wire.1 then 1wire.2 etc. However I can't delete remove or change these files. I have tried sudo and tried deleting from the root. When I use -v (verbose) the deletion appears to proceed as normal but does not remove the files a folders. This is all pretty heady stuff for a newby. It appears that large set of files and folders which owfs creates in /mnt/1wire have a range of 'permissions' including 'nobody'. I have tried 'chmod' and 'chown' with little effect. Can anyone advise how these files and folders can be deleted / removed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
