I then rm-ed the file, but the daemon still had the filehandle and was writing to it. Well... I killed the daemon, which had been writing to this invisible inode. Is there ANY way (fsdb, fsck, some great perl hack) to find out what this inode was and link it back into some directory so I can get at the file contents? -- James Buszard-Welcher | VOX 847.729.8600 | "It's not the stuff...
