- I hope you backup before doing this, or else you will probably trash your Hd
- (and not be able to get it back). Reorg does occasionally miss problems with

- Infact, AFS probably wouldn`t get the above problem - especially the newer
- versions coming :). v2.4 should really kick some butt! And as for v3......
