--howdy: --i would agree with you. unless there was some --type of link or the like somewhere; i tried to --duplicate it, but it worked correctly for me. --(running RHEL 3.0). --is it possible to review his history to --see what commands he actually used? -X -----Original Message----- From: robbrown27709@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:robbrown27709@xxxxxxxxxxx] I have a user who claims he did the following: cp -r /u02/stuff /u102 cd /u102/stuff rm * cd /u102 rmdir stuff He claims that the stuff directory was removed from both /u02 & /u102. I tried to recreate this, but every time I do, it works correctly; only /u102/stuff is removed & /u02/stuff is intact. This guy is a very reputable DBA and everyone believes him. I am the Unix admin & I must explain this to the boss. I can't explain this. I have never seen anything like this. Is this possible? Any thoughts or comments? The following is the config: /dev/cciss/c1d0p12 /u02 /dev/cciss/c1d1p2 /u102 Thanks in advance for any comments. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
