From: Gordon Vickers <gordon@prls.uucp> Any ideas on how I can delete this entry in /a/.rm/gordon ? I have run fsck, but it did not complain. I would certainly prefer a method that would result in no data loss, but am willing to comprimise in a second if no better solution is found. I am running Ultrix 2.0-1 on a VAX 11/750. First, manually copy the files in that directory somewher else. Then, find the inode, and point `clri' at it. Finally, run fsck. The unlink program mentioned elsewhere does not appear on every system. A quick hack is "main(c,v) char **v; { while (--c) unlink(*++v); }". Gordon P. Vickers, (408) 991-5370, Signetics Corp.
