Had it happen today. On ext3 btw RH box used in our "demo" section. seems it just didn't want me to move the file. FTP "stuttered" during a file transfer and poof I have an unreadable unusable file. Doing the rescue disk I was able to remove it. In fact just for fun I copied the hosed file to another directory and guess what.. Yep 2 hosed files! Dunno. James
