Re: [PLUG] Problems with "special" directories
|
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
