[ale] "undeleteable" file HOWTO

[Mike Panetta]

This example should work on a fat32 disk as well...

[mike at Chiana test]$ ls
*  $?5?  bar  baz  foo 
[mike at Chiana test]$ rm '*'
[mike at Chiana test]$ ls
$?5?  bar  baz  foo  
[mike at Chiana test]$ ls -b
$\a5\377  bar  baz  foo 
[mike at Chiana test]$ rm `echo -e "$\a5\377"`
[mike at Chiana test]$ ls
bar  baz  foo

Its that easy...

Mike

sorry, should have mentioned that the folder in question is on the FAT32 partition of the disk.
