Hum, it's quite well documented in books on unix and operating- systems in general. I'd really like to help you, SI, but for me to type in everything I know about the unix file-system and it's structure will take hours (I had a 6 hours exam on it once), and I think that this is not the best use of my time (no offence). Besides I have a cold! > > So, if anyone's willing to spoon-feed me on this one? If you'r really lost, I could try to find some references for you. The only one I've got in my head is: Unix System Administration Handbook by Nemeth, Snyder & Seebass A very good book in most respect, but does not go very deep in technical details. > > Simon > > ps Anyone know anything about the OS/2 HPFS system?
