Been there - done that! :-( rm will, unless specifically denied (I THINK you can do that), also follow symlinks. In my case I was copying files from one HD to another, put one in the wrong place, and deleted it using rm -rf , only to find that it deleted the original as well! :-( I'm looking at two possible undelete options. ffsrecov (in ports) and recover ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/sysadm/recover.tar.Z One of them might work for you. PS I think rm needs looking at so it defaults to NOT deleting copy AND source by default. -- Brian > > -Grant > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
