Hello, Observe: hyperion# ls -la total 61634 drwxr-xr-x 2 xxx yyy 63047168 Nov 18 21:33 . drwxr-xr-x 6 xxx yyy 512 Oct 8 16:39 .. hyperion# find . . hyperion# The one special circumstance is that the directory previously contained 1.7 million small files, that are now deleted. This is on FreeBSD 6.1 with UFS2 + softupdates. No snapshots exist of the filesystem. 1.7 million files may be extreme, but I don't see why an empty directory would ever consume more than one inode? -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
