I've collected the two command lines to make it easier to see the problem: > www1:/data/documents/upload/bill/invoices# ls -ld 00/00071/0007113* > www1:/data/documents/upload/bill/invoices# ls -ld 00/00071/0007173* You are getting different results becasue you aren't actually running the same command; Notice the difference between 7113 and 7173 at the end? The same appears to be the case in the other example: > www1:/data/documents/upload/bill/invoices# cd 00/00071/00071134 > -bash: cd: 00/00071/00071134: No such file or directory That directory was missing from the previous listing (71133 and 71135 were there), so this seems correct. > www1:/data/documents/upload/bill/invoices# ls -ld 00/00071/00071734 > drwxr-sr-x 2 webadmin webadmin 4096 2007-09-10 16:36 00/00071/00071734 This directory was there, so this also seems correct. I may have overlooked something, but from the information you supplied I can't see anything wrong with the results. /Finn -- Finn Lindgren, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], phone: +46 46 2229837 www: http://www.maths.lth.se/matstat/staff/finn/ Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University Box 118, SE-221 00, Sweden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
