Hey! I really wanted to know a way to truncate a file! It works, but you first have to call "resize2fs" and then "dd" without notrunc. When I first read the itamar's way to do it, I didn't try the "dd" thing because he used dd before using resize2fs. :P -- Homepage : http://geocities.com/arhuaco The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. -- Richard Feynman. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
