In Unix and Linux a file doesn't completely go away until the last program using it closes the (otherwise deleted) file. Programs trying to open the file will either get the new version, if there is one, or create a new copy if it wasn't replaced. AFAIK, this has always been true, and what the OP was complaining about is just the way things are. I can well understand why the OP is Not Happy with the situation, but there's not much that can be done about it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
