Together you can look at his history to see exactly the sequence and pathing
he used.  This way you will know exactly what did transpire.  HTH

Subject: Filesystem question


I have a user who claims he did the following:
cp -r /u02/stuff  /u102
cd  /u102/stuff 
rm *
cd /u102
rmdir stuff
He claims that the stuff directory was removed from both /u02 & /u102. I
tried to recreate this, but every time I do, it works correctly; only
/u102/stuff is removed & /u02/stuff is intact. This guy is a very reputable
DBA and everyone believes him. I am the Unix admin & I must explain this to
the boss. I can't explain this. I have never seen anything like this. Is
this possible? Any thoughts or comments? The following is the config:
/dev/cciss/c1d0p12   /u02
/dev/cciss/c1d1p2    /u102
Thanks in advance for any comments.
