I just learned some pertinent information while reading "Managing NFS and NIS": "Removing the file with rm clears the direcotry entry, but does not free the disk space because the process still has the file open." They do this to remove it: # cat /dev/null > /file/that/is/open Just some valuable information should you need it ;o) Forrest -- _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
