Hard disks don't produce characters, cryptic or otherwise. What command did you run that produced cryptic characters from your hard disk? First you said you did "/dev/null >/dev/sdb1". Then you said that you did "$cat /dev/null >/dev/sdb1". Unless you've seriously messed with permissions or made yourself a member of the disk group then neither of these would have any effect. You want to tell us now that you did "#cat /dev/null >/dev/sdb1"? You want to tell us why? You want to tell us what state your drive was in before you did this? You want to tell us why what /dev/sda is and what /dev/sdb is and the content of your /etc/fstab? --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
