[iyonix-support] Re: Hard disc problems

Hi David

I ran discknight and it showed that the disc is OK. I couldn't see how
to use it to remove the thousands of directories created by Aemulor, so
I am in the process of running a BASIC program to go to each directory,
delete the Log file and then the directory. It will probably take some
days to finish the job, but hopefully the system will be repaired. Has
anyone else had problems with Aemulor filling the disc with dumps?
