Two identical filenames in one directory!

[David Goodenough]

>From article <22 at minya.UUCP>, by jc at minya.UUCP (John Chambers):

Lots of stuff about funky duplicate directory entries deleted .....

What happens if you do the following:

tar cf - . | ( cd someplace_else ; tar xf - )

I.e. use tar to shift the whole directory structure someplace else.
However, I'm still not 100% sure how you'd set about removing both
entries in the original directory, rm might still do ugly things.

If I were a _REAL_ hacker, I'd suggest opening the raw disk device
(/dev/rsm0g or whatever) for UPDATE, seeking along it looking for
the string "active", and then just patching the disk itself. [1]
I do this on a fairly regular basis to my machine at home, but then
the file structure of CP/M is a bit simpler that UNIX :-)

[1] This is not meant to be taken totally seriously, I'd suggest
waiting to hear what flames people have for such a brutal idea
before trying it. Also sync the disk, and umount it before
attempting this.
