qfile will find orphanded files with the -o option. I used this the |
| 11 |
other way round last week when I lost all of /var (it appears reiserfs, |
| 12 |
LVM2 and the Eee's SSD is not a good combination). I used qfile -o to |
| 13 |
identify all the orphaned files, then identified the owning packages and |
| 14 |
rebuilt the package database by running emerge -K for each one. |

qfile -o $(find /etc -type f) |
