Some more playing around showed that the 'hidding' depends on the actual filename. Lots of x in my 1st example did the magic other chars won't. I'd guess its depended on the sequence in the dir(-listing). Similar to the observations of Andreas Ferber. People with insight on the actual btree should have some clues. The scary thing is that people can screw up systems just by writing to {/var,}/tmp/<log random name> One won't recover that diskspace. On Wed, 10 Jan 2001, Ryan Russell wrote:

Bash won't interpolate the asterisk. That way echo * prints *. Csh prints echo: No match. I had no success using strings on the directory itself. cu. : Christian
