Generally, something like this tends to be a filesystem or physical storage medium issue. You've not crashed and had a corrupted filesystem to scan and repair after a reboot lately, right? How regularly do you do preventive fscks (or whatever Apple calls them)? I know nothing about what sort of filesystem Apple uses, but that's what I'd be looking at. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
