Listmates,
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.
In what manner do the commands that fail when operating on that directory do so?
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/
How many files are in that directory? It's enormous! Will find enumerate its contents? If so, something like this might work: % find V2 -type f -print0 |xargs -0 rm
...
What is the best way to recover??
Well, I hear Windows types reinstall ever couple of weeks or so...
