- Short: A utility for detache a file from the file system
-
- Detache detaches a file from the file system. Requires Release 2.
-
- Detache is a 2.04-only utility that will detache a file from the file
- system. Note that this is completely different than deleting a file: in
- particular, Detache works even if the file system did not restart properly
- because of a failed validation. This happens rather frequently if the Amiga
- crashes during a write on a hard disk partition: you get the dreaded
- "checksum error on block xxx" requester, and your hard disk is dead (no
- writes). Detache was written for people who don't like detaching manually
- files with DiskEd: if you know the name of the guilty file (the file the
- faulty block belongs to) you can simply detache it, and the file system will
- be happy to restart.
