This is a long shot, but have you checked the file attributes? One time /sbin/init wound up having some strange attributes on a system I helped manage. Previously I had never heard of attributes on files (this is distinct from the standard information we commonly think of owner, permissions, times, etc). I don't recall what the attributes were on /sbin/init, but they kept the system from booting. We never determined what caused the situation, unfortuniately. It's a long shot, but try lsattr and see if there are any attributes set on these files/ directories. If there are odd attributes, check the man page for chattr to see what effect they have on fs/io behavior. HTH, Andy On Tue, 2005-10-25 at 12:01 -0400, Art Alexion wrote: > Michael C.
