Thanks Paul, interesting point

'Holding' might not be the perfect description. Apparently the armature makes contact with sensitive places on the female, coaxing her to agree to mate.

Is was not quite sure whether the word would apply correctly, but, yes, that is okay.

How about armature, would that fit? based on http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.11 11/j.1365-3113.2008.00422.x/pdf it would seem that these spines etc are used to hold the female!

All spines, ridges, lobes, etc. on the femur.

It was an inode issues. In practise, I think it means there were more files on the server than the system catered for. The limit has been doubled and we should be save for quite some time.
