Hi! After having to make a complete backup of my drive (as it acts funny lately and will soon go bang, I fear, BTW, an IBM IDE drive less than 2 years old... :-( ) by using InfoZIP in OS/2, I came upon a problem with my JFS drive there. Zip uses up all resources of some kind and can't backup the drive. In narrowed this down to a single file in one directory. It seems to consist of '?' and possibly other characters. The directory cannot be listed in OS/2 at all.
Now, being smart (I thought) why not use Linux JFS to delete that file and run fsck on the drive to make sure everything is sane. Linux JFS utils (1.0.11) did repair some minor problems and some cross links, but going into the problematic dir and trying to delete said file was not successful. I tried an rm -rf from higher up, but the command fails on that one file. If I try to list it with ls -l I just get an error saying that the file cannot be listed. Next, I will try an upgrade to 1.0.16, but I thought I'l ask around if this is a known issue and still persists or if anyone has a solution for me to get rid of this whole directory. I wouldn't mind deleting the whole tree from / on, but I can't afford to lose the whole partition let alone the whole drive right now. Thanks for any help Jocki PS: I do have backups of important data, but I would hate to have to install the zillions of small utilities and programs again that have accumulated over the last 5 years there on my OS/2 partition. -- ============================/\===/\=======/\============================ Joachim F.
