Run 'ls -lo' and see if you see a 'schg' flag appear after the uid/gid specifications for the file, enter the command 'chflags noschg compat' and then try to remove the file. I suggest you recheck your filesystem becuase the space occupied by the /compat directory may not have been properly recovered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects Dataradio Inc. 200-5500 Royalmount Ave. TEL: +1 514 737 0020 Town of Mount Royal, QC, CANADA H4P 1H7 FAX: +1 514 737 7883 http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com
