That's 'not supposed' to happen on filesystems with unix semantics. That is, if a process gets a file open, it is supposed to continue to have access to it's data even if some other process removes or renames it. It could happen if another process truncates it - which doesn't seem likely for programs using maildir format. It also might happen over an NFS mount, although NFS goes through some contortions to avoid it. In any case, it is somehow related to filesystem activity and probably doesn't hurt much as long as you can restore the other files. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
