[plug] Removine a block device ....

[Anthony J. Breeds-Taurima]

Hello All,
	I have a problem with my machine at home :(.  One of my HDD's is dying a
slow and painfull death, painfull for me that is.  One of the nasty things is
has done to me is change by pdf_draw.ps file, that comes with ghostscript
4.03, to a block device :(

So I have 2 questions;

1) How can I delet it ???
   I tried rm,chmod etc etc as root: "Operation not permitted"
   I though about clearing the inode and letting fsck do the rest BUT I
   couldn't work out how to do that ???  ext2ed is on the /usr filesystem and
   so is the dud file.
2) What is the best way to migrate the files to a new drive:
   Would:
------
   mount /dev/XXX /mnt/newusr
   cd /usr
   find . \( -type f -o -type d -o -type l -o -type p \) -print0 | \
       cpio -dumpa0 /mnt/newusr
------
   work ??? given that I then use rpm to verify the new files ???
   or is there a better way to move the files ???

Yours Tony.
