From your latest message, Bryan, I don't think we are going to come up
with anything by playing guessing games about the nature of the problem.
Please post another message, this time giving the sorts of technical
details needed to troubleshoot.

Suppose I have someone's username from their ISP. Using just that
information, is there some way I could track down what IRC
server/channel they may be in or would I require any more information?

For some reason, the command "lsof | grep /mnt/cdrom ." didn't produce
any results. No error, nothing. I looked at the man page for lsof but
it didn't seem to have anything to say about locating run-away
processes. I also took a look at my running processes and couldn't find
anything suspicious
Unless you've already done it and it failed, you could try umount
/mnt/cdrom.

AFAIK yes, and the saying is, never run a script as root, root is evil, one

There is a Linux program called "defrag" that works with ext2 filesystems.
I don't know if it works with the newer filesystems, like ext3 and reiserfs.

I'm a bit fuzzy on this one too, Paul. But I notice that you did not try
this variant:

I don't know that escaping the & character will work, but it is the obvious

Yes. You want to set the suid bit on it and have it owned by root. "man
chmod" (or maybe other chmod documentation) for the details.

sudo is used for running commands as a different user.
man sudo
There are a couple of ways, depending on how you are mounting the drive.
Dirty way:
If you are using NFS and are _not_ using an auto mounter of some kind
(amd, autofs), change the ownership of the script file to root, then
setUID on it. like this:
chown root SCRIPT
chmod +s SCRIPT
Note: Using

Hmm, you could try a slightly different approach.
Obviously, I don't know the layout of the data that you are backing up,
but assuming that it's in a number of distinct areas you could use
something like dump or tar a number of times, thereby breaking your 13GB
