Message-ID: <1992Jul13.162307.6086@sci.ccny.cuny.edu> Organization: City College of New York - Science Computing Facility Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1992 16:23:07 GMT Lines: 21 Hi All, For the reasons we haven't know yet, on our BSD 4.3 system, the /scratch was pointed to /scratch/DOS, so a link loop is created. When I used 'file /scratch/DOS', the system shows " append-only directory", the /scratch/DOS is a dir and not a symbolic link. Is there anyway we can remove the DOS under /scratch without losing the files under the /scratch? Any help would be appreciated, please e-mail to paul@sci.ccny.cuny.edu for response. Thanks in advance. Paul -- Paul Chen CC CC N N Y Y System Manager C C N N N Y Science Computer Facility CC CC N N Y -SCIENCE City College of CUNY, J302 Internet: paul@sci.ccny.cuny.edu
