OK, Here is the issue. mc seems to be running and deleting the files after I selected the directory and told it to delete rather than trying to descend into the directory. mc is working on deleting thousands of files named: /home/samba/computer/fonts/V2/.directory.lock.Esto70 /home/samba/computer/fonts/V2/.directory.lock.bgVe70 /home/samba/computer/fonts/V2/.directory.lock.XrXa70 /home/samba/computer/fonts/V2/.directory.lock.IaWj70 /home/samba/computer/fonts/V2/.directory.lock.NpUm70 It will delete a whole bunch, then look like it is stuck of 15-20 secs, then start deleting again. I guess it is just going through cycles of buffer/delete, over and over. Hopefully it will finish sometime tonight. When I messed up the tr call, I did something like tr [a-z] [A-Z] filename instead of "echo filename | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'" Only problem was the initial call was in a loop. "for i in $(ls); do tr....." Why that would blow up like this, I don't know. Seems like it should just have thrown errors instead of creating millions of files. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
