Dchech for Lev. II wasn't able to deal w/ hard links. I was supprised to find my OSk Dcheck didn't complain about a linked directory on my MM1, though! I haven't tried it with regular files yet. "Sector......not in file structure" is not a fatal error. The file structure is still intact, but some sectors are blocked off for aforementioned reasons. For things you know about, I create dummy files that hold those sector numbers so I can keep track of things. For example, I have a good number of bad sectors on my HD. In /dd/sys/disk I have files dead1 through dead4 that are effectively files spanning all of those bad sectors. When I first hit a bad one, I wrote a little program that searched the disk for bad sectors and locked them out, and the ran dcheck to get a list of these NiFS sectors. I made /dd/sys/disk. Used Build to create a few empty files, and then used ded to fill them with all of the bad sectors. One of these days I'll write a nifty tool to take care of it all at once... I zapped all of the attributes on those files for now, to remind me not to move their contents when I get around to writing a speedisk like routine. There should be a better way. "sector ..... in file structure but not allocated" is bad. Fix this :). -- Jesse Oberrueter (KB7PSG) joberreu@seattleu.edu kb7psg@n7hfz.wa.usa.na "For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky!"
