hi, the problem with my evil crt1.o file that was hosed in a 'previous episode' from a bad filesystem crash through power cut via microsoft button (locked console and no chance to telnet for hours), and is still not fixed. just got some time to try again, so this time i'm trying debugfs. this is a stat of the file:
debugfs: stat crt1.o Inode: 272446 Type: character special Mode: 0040 Flags: 0x20202030 Version: 0 User: 12320 Group: 8224 Size: 538976288 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 538976288 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x20202020 -- Fri Jan 30 11:38:08 1987 atime: 0x30202020 -- Thu Aug 3 09:02:24 1995 mtime: 0x20202030 -- Fri Jan 30 11:38:24 1987 BLOCKS: 538976304 538976288 807411744 10 TOTAL: 4 My biggest worry is the size: i only have 6 gig drive, not a 539 gig! what do i do to get rid of this file without destroying my system? who are the experts on this stuff? I don't want to email Theodore Ts'o if he isn't still involved... hope someone knows... Paul
