Hello all, When a file gets created under the Fast File System, and gets placed into a set of physical blocks and possibly a few fragments, will that file ever get moved? In other words, if I created a file and then never updated it (or even read from it), would it stay on the same place on the physical disk? Another question: what tools exist (if any) to go in and manually change i-nodes and other data structures on a hard disk? (This is a follow-on to my earlier question about what to do if a bad spot develops on an IDE hard drive.) Thanks in advance, Greg Johnson johnson@nrtc.northrop.com
