If something odd is happening with >the directory cookies, that might provoke a response. OK, I've done this and things still seem to be working OK. OH, and in response to one of the questions from yesterday, the directory in question was completely static -- I was just reading data from it, and I don't believe anything was changing on that disk. More detail... The disk being mounted is machine:/data4 on /data4 I'm then going down to /data4/handy/1996/07b, and I have 287 or so files there that are of varying sizes from about .5Mb to 2Mb. The only other thing I can guess right now is maybe my source tree was a day or two out of sync with my kernel, but I'm not completely sure of that. [checking, hold on...] OK, the kernel from was from 17-May, the source tree was from 14-May. I don't imagine anything in particular had changed in 2.2-STABLE during this time frame. Other things to exercise? At any rate, I'm using it, so if something is wrong I may be able to turn it up again. Brian
