[hawk-billf] /home/billf > ls hdesk ls: hdesk: No such file or directory [hawk-billf] /home/billf > cp -pRP helpdesk hdesk [hawk-billf] /home/billf > cd hdesk [hawk-billf] /home/billf/hdesk > ls ./ Makefile hdesk.c ../ hdesk* hdesk.o Note that hdesk and hdesk.o suddenly came back from the dead. It works in reverse, every now and then when running $ echo "test" | ./hdesk it will fail like so: 75203 ktrace CALL execve(0xbfbffb53,0xbfbffa48,0xbfbffa50) 75203 ktrace NAMI "./hdesk" 75203 ktrace RET execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory but if I run it again, it may work. the files are just appearing and reappearing. Another example: [hawk-billf] /home/billf/helpdesk > make clean rm -f hdesk hdesk.o [hawk-billf] /home/billf/helpdesk > ls ./ Makefile hdesk.c ktrace.out ../ hdesk* hdesk.o hdesk and hdesk.o have been removed, but they are still hanging around. If I copy the directories around (or move) them, I experience the same oddity. If I make a whole new directory structure and $ cat hdesk.c > /tmp/hdesk.c $ cat Makefile /tmp/Makefile $ mkdir notwhacked $ cp /tmp/{hdesk.c,Makefile} notwhacked the behavior goes away. Someone tell me I'm wrong here... -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect / Computer Horizons Corp - CHIMES e-mail: billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org PS.
