Hello David,

exactly. The question is: Is it a Solaris bug or is it something that is supposed a user is able to do (it doesn't make sense for me)? I posted this problem to comp.unix.solaris and also contacted the UFS Maintainer of Solaris (it is not the first UFS bug I original found). If I don't receive feedback, I am going to open a call with Sun. Whatever is going on (hopefully it isn't PEBKAC - but I don't think so) and this time it isn't broken hardware either (like the last time I reported a serious git bug) because it happens on two machines.
