But now I have a second question. :-) Consider this: ; sam/sam -d B /etc/fstab -. /etc/fstab i foo . D /etc/fstab ?changes to "/etc/fstab" B /etc/svdtab -. /etc/svdtab D /etc/fstab q In other words, the second close attempt on a file will always succeed, even if other operations have taken place in the meantime. That seems rather aggressive to me; when the man page talks about a ``subsequent D'', I expected that it meant an immediately subsequent one.
