- I checked out blakhole.zoo but still hesitate using it for my purpose.
- I got a *second* folder with the drive objects in it (was created in
- the process of running checkini, don't remember the details). When I now
- try do dump this second folder into the blackhole it asks for confirmation:
- "do you want to delete drive A" or similar. Of course I don't want to delete
- drive A, not physically nor its presence in the drives folder, but only its
- representation in that sticky extra folder.
- Anybody knows for sure
- whether I can dare saying "yes" to that confirmation question?
