(using only 4k - so it's no big deal ;) root@vdr:/video0/Andromeda/S04E15_Die_letzte_Fahrt_ins_Nichts# ls -la total 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 6 Oct 9 23:30 . drwxrwxrwx 48 root root 4096 Aug 3 20:57 .. additional information can be found here: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=50855&hilightuser=5887 regards hannes
