i have a disk partitioned as 30M dos, 130M unix running ISC 2.2. to avoid jumping back & forth into vpix, i mounted the dos partition # /etc/mount -f DOS /dev/dsk/0p1 /c i created a directory, moved files into it, deleted the files. but when i issued the rm command it panic'd right away. sorry i dont have an kernel message. this is an avoidable problem, just seems strange. barry. -- ~~~~~~~ ..walkin on the beaches, lookin at the peaches
