That may well not come last on all filing systems, so no-one make that
assumption.
Jim doesn't specify what FS(s) all his machines are using.
I discovered this when devising a system for ensuring the completeness of
my back-ups by testing for the presence of a specific (last) file or
directory. As an example, SDFS and Fat32fs differ markedly in the order
they copy items elsewhere.
Implications probably not mission-critical in Jim's particular case, but
are in mine!
Best wishes,
John
