If you boot a node diskless, mtvol its disk, forget to dmtvol when you shutdown, reset, and reboot, what's a safe way to remove the object-with-no-attributes in the boot partner's directory left behind by the mtvol? I once clobbered the directory tree on the rebooted node by trying to dlf or dll or dlt or rm (don't remember which) the attributeless directory entry.

The sdir will be removed. Anything else is risky. -- Howard
