The fun part is that I got the I/O errors for varying diretories and 'ls'-sing thes directories after find failed, too. However a follow-up tar to the ieee1394 disk to salvage the data actually could access all data correctly. One day before I did experience the same symptom but did reboot. This caused actual damage all over the place and I had to restore from the last checkpoint I made. -- Andreas Steinmetz SPAMmers use robotrap@domdv.de
