Greetings; I have a file that looks like the following in an ls list; -????????? ? ? ? ? ? Inbox.msf I can't do anything with it. Can't mv, rm, cp, or anything else I have thought of to get rid of it or write over it. Any ideas how I can get this thing out of my life?? Many TIA!! Dennis
Thanks for all the great ideas! Fortunately, the problem was solved for me. My system locked up and when I reset/restarted it the problem was fixed. So, fairly certain that I had a bad disk, I popped in a new drive and copied everything to it while the old one was behaving itself. All seems to be well. I now have a number of good hints and tips to file away for the next time such weird things happen!
Many Thanks! Dennis
