I must have had a script go bad and completely screw up a file or two in a directory and now I cannot "ls" the directory, I cannot "rm -rf" the directory, but I can "mv" the directory and I can "cd" into the directory.
The directory holds font files and I ran a script with "tr" in the scripts and I had the wrong arguments to tr and now there is a mess. The directory "V2" has the following properties:
drwxrwxrwx 2 david dcr 128552960 2009-07-16 22:28 V2/
I booted to runlevel 1 and fsck'ed the disk and it is fine. So, I know this is one of those cases where I have screwed up the files in the directory well beyond my ability just delete them and I'm --- stuck.
What is the best way to recover??
