Chuckle.:)  Point being, if you have the tools, you may as well use them.  
Besides, the carbide will strip the teeth off those files.  Waste of files.

I think it also helps to keep my aging brain exercised & working.

Now, to get back on topic, sorta, a question:

What drivers are between an ext4 file system, and a 4 pack of terrabyte 
drives hooked to an NVidia MCP-55 sata interface?  ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe mb.

I am trying to build a newer kernel, but it gets 4.9 secs into the boot, 
hangs for 30 secs, and says it cannot find the / partition by its UUID & 
drops to a busybox shell.

Cheers, Gene

How many QA engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

3: 1 to screw it in and 2 to say "I told you so" when it doesn't work.
I was taught to respect my elders, but its getting 
harder and harder to find any...
