it turns out that only one directory was affected. This directory contains 488984 files. I don't think that having many files in a directory should be an error, only (possibly) a performance problem. But in no case should the file system become corrupted, imho. Kind regards, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
