The read-only directory has been gone. As from the number of files and blocks that 'df' says, not only the lost directory has been gone, it looks the directories and files under it also have been gone. The remove command looks like it really worked on the directory, rather than the parent directory is broken. The test on ext2 is still running. Thanks, Yoshi --- Yoshihiro Tsuchiya
