Deleting large files
Authored by: RobertWGoodrich on Oct 19, '07 11:47:27PM
Thanks for the suggestion, wheeles . I had tried something similar:

cat /dev/null >! {filename}

and it also caused a kernel panic.

fsck and Disk Utility both exonerate disk corruption, although I did not try Disk Warrior. It may well have shown something, and I should probably run it just in case; it's overdue.

Thanks for all the suggestions and discussion. I posted more details on:
