If this is the case, and /data is the mountpoint for a partition, then it will show up as empty until the partition is mounted there. It is hard to say what the problem is without more information. Two things that would help. Run "mount" and post the results. Post the contents of /etc/fstab. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
