I think that that was what I needed. It tells me that two wholly
unimportant files are hard linked to each other. I don't think they were
before I had the problems with the previous hard drive. Should I be
concerned that there might be problems as yet undetected? I have fscked
the partitions on my new drive, and no problems were reported.
Thanks for the help.
Best, Darren
