Just two remarks: in order to see hidden files (*nix: the ones with a . at the beginning of their names) there is the -a switch of ls, e.g.,
ls -la /maxtor to remove also the hidden files can become a little arduous, for a start use rm -rf .??* this will avoid to remove the directory itself (.) and the parent directory (..). But one can easily think up names of hidden files which would not be removed by this command. -- Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
