a solution could be to use perl and processing the filenames one by one (stream/pipe). I think glob and <> expression in perl are pretty much the same, at least it's worth a try :) ----------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl while (glob("/lost+found/*")) { print "File: $_ \n"; #... other things to do } ----------------------------------- Best Regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- Reference ------------------------------------------- > the good news is that fsck "fixed" my filesystem after 10 hours > of running.
