It happens to have no files in it, yet it's listed at 404104882946560 bytes in size. rm -rf comes back saying directory not empty After some reading, i found others with the same problem that solved the problem by running fsck. Running fsck prompted the 'cannot alloc 29387498573987123984758392123 bytes for inphead" error and i'm unable to fsck the drive. This is running fbsd 5.2.1 Any suggestions ? :-) thanks! -- Matt Virus ("veer-iss") http://www.mattvirus.net
