<div>
OK I just figured out what I did.<br />
/home/public is a device. It is a seperate hard drive.<br />
So when I did a mv to /home/public2 I was actually moving to another hard drive so of course it was going to take forever.<br />
<br />
Now I'm really in trouble.<br />
I deleted /home/public2<br />
<br />
Now I did something so /home/public will not mount<br />
It drops to a prompt <br />
I did fsck /home/public and it says the superblock is bad<br />
<br />
I Don't mind zaping the /home/public drive I have the data but how do I boot so I can do what?<br />
<br />

What my Linux guy did was just format the drive as I had the data already saved.<br />
Thanks.<br />
It seems to be much faster now also.<br />
I wonder about that because ext2 is not supposed to need de-fragging

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I issued the command mv public public2 <br />
In DOS if I do ren public public2 or in windows right click on the folder and select rename the process happens almost instantly even if the folder is large.<br />
<br />
The mv command, I verified this with the v switch, seems to actually move every file. Very slow.<br />
<br />
I never noticed this before because I never tested a large directory before. Am I understanding this correctly? Is their a fast way?<br />
