 |
|
I have run into an interesting problem.
When I issue an ls -al on some, not all, directories I have the following output:
| Code: |
drwxr-xr-x 4 someuserab someuserab 96 2009-02-24 10:05 DirectoryA
?????????? ? ? ? ? ? DirectoryB
|
I cannot change the permissions or ownership. What can/should I do? I cannot
even delete them, since, I do not, nor does root have permissions to do so.
Please help

Are these directories in something like a /home directory or are they in a system directory like /bin, /sbin, /usr or something like that? Is this a mounted file system that has windoze installed on it or some other OS?
If it is in your /home directory, I would be wondering where they came from in the first place. If it is on your Linux OS, you could boot from the CD, mount the partition and delete them that way. Permissions at that point wouldn't matter much then. However, if something was installed and put them there, I would find out what put them there before deleting anything.
Pardon me but this is odd.

| Go to fsck, go directly to fsck, do not pass go, do not collect 200 zorkmids. |

Exactly, this is a filesystem corruption. I remember having this with reiserfs once a few years ago..
