In some of the older versions of DOT were some bugs in the WAFL directory format. One bug allowed two different files to be created in the same directory with the exact same name. Even though our version of DOT no longer has this bug, our volume still had three such pairs of files on it.
Anybody have the burt# for this, and in what releases it has been fixed? I recall in early 1999 we ran into this a few times, but some user would remove one of the files before we nailed it down with tech support, so my notes are incomplete.
Besides the tedious `ls|sort` method described, is there any other way to detect this error that may be latent on our filers? Would a `wack` detect and fix it? (Whoops...'cuse me, "WAFL_check.")
Until next time...
