They'll certainly tell you about partitions, used/free space, etc . As for time of creation, I don't know of anything that will tell you that. I'd be surprised if that was information that was available, it doesn't seem like the kind of thing a filesystem needs to know. > > TIA > > B.R. > Stephen Liu -- mnavarre@cox.net it was a hard sell, since he's a database person, and as far as I've seen, once those database worms eat into your brain, it's hard to ever get anything practical done again.
