Reference the sample directory listing in post #1 section 1.

Interestingly all the directories have the same inode number (the first field) but you would only find the first directory with a find /filesystem -xdev -inum 8140 command because "find" ignores the ".." directory.
The links count is 9 when you would expect it to be 6, therefore there are 3 more directories with this inum somewhere.
We can forget using the inode number.

The sample directory listing is not in alphabetic order. There is no single "ls" command which could produce this output ... unless perhaps there is a hidden timestamp and the "-t" parameter was used or you have a version of "ls" where you can turn off the sort.

The sample includes the path name in the file field. You can only get this from "ls" if you specified the path on the "ls" command line.

Therefore I think that the sample came from 6 individual "ls" commands.

For example:

Code:

ls -liadp sample/text/\.\.

    8140 drwxr-xr-x 9 root bin 18 Jan 20 2009  sample/text/../

Note: I don't have the same version of "ls" as you. If you haven't got "-p", then "-F" is just as good. I haven't got "-h" (human readable) at all.

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;
