could be because most fsck's take place on an unmounted filesystem and when you unmount a filesystem you gotta terminate all processes that are using it, when this happens any deleted files that were still 'open' will be purged. can be a bit misleading sometimes but I like it better then Win32 systems which just outright block you from deleting the file, at least on linux I can delete it, and know it will be purged at the earliest possible time. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
