- I did the following to a file (it was either an object library or an
- shareable image and I cannot remember which):
-
- COPY foo.bar []
- DIFF foo.bar
-
- DIFF told me that the files were different (I think it was a single
- block in a 30000 block file). I am at a loss to explain how this could
- happen. Any suggestions?
-
- BTW, this is a disk on which we run DISKEEPER and DISKEEPER keeps taking
- ACCVIOs :-) when it goes near some files (like this one) that have 10 or 20
- extension headers. ANAL/DISK shows no problems apart from the usual
- collection of lost files and files marked for delete.
-
- Finally, what is the use of the IDENT area in the extension header?
- Does it matter that the name in the extension header is different to
- that in the primary header? TIA, Neil.
