    Managers,

    I seem to have a somewhat strange problem, on a DS20 running 4.0G Patchkit4,

    every morning around 04:50 /dev/null was changed from a system file to a
    standard normal file, obviously not correct. By a process of elimination
    it appears that the daily defragcron job was responsible (since I
    commented it out in the crontab the problem has not re-occured). however
    we also run a defragment by directly calling defragment once a week &
    this seems not to cause a problem.

    In the short term the problem has been resolved but I would like to
    re-enable the daily defrag if possible. Has anyone seen a similar problem ?
