I believe they do this so that things might still work if you move disks around in the system. (Not that I like it, but...) > Can anyone tell me why fdisk does not work and what is "/ussrcsbin"? Sounds like a hiccup in the locatedb(8). The advice to use updatedb is what I would try first. You might try specifying the full path to fdisk, e.g. "/sbin/fdisk", in that command line. It sounds to me as though the possibility exists that the installation is somewhat borked. Out of curiosity, might the disk be old and failing? You might try running badblocks(8) on it. (If you need a path, it should be in /sbin.) --=20 Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin --eV9cGEf2bJwTs/8b Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9xzRjdmHcUxFvDL0RAlThAKCzH1kD+J09kZ31ge5BluRfNNm7pgCcCDdV nqpFkiZyaevp47aZ3b6CNmk= =Bm/a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eV9cGEf2bJwTs/8b--
