Hi All, For those of you who recall my router and 10.0 system being hacked into some time ago (root logins enabled via ssh; weak passwords all around,) which I repaired by installing 10.2 from scratch then emptying out what was '/' for 10.0... emptied as in erased, not formatted... well... I'm finally able to recover that disk space and put it back into service. One problem, though: it won't mount normally... keeps turning the mount point directory green in my shell. See http://www.cehartung.com/images/green-mnt-pt.png Then there's the output from reiserfsck... note "Directories 3"... when there's nothing (visible) there. reiserfsck --check started at Fri Feb 2 08:32:30 2007 ########### Replaying journal.. Reiserfs journal '/dev/hdb7' in blocks [18..8211]: 0 transactions replayed Checking internal tree..finished Comparing bitmaps..finished Checking Semantic tree: finished No corruptions found There are on the filesystem: Leaves 1 Internal nodes 0 *** Directories 3 *** (emphasis added) Other files 0 Data block pointers 0 (0 of them are zero) Safe links 0 ########### reiserfsck finished at Fri Feb 2 08:32:31 2007 ########### Here are the relevant lines from /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb10 /windows/G2 reiserfs user,acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /windows/G3 reiserfs user,acl,user_xattr 1 2 note: hdb7, 8, 9 and 10 are identical and were created at the same time.

different permissions but why ??? drwxrwxrwt <--- man:/usr/share/man/man1p/chmod.1p.gz The perm symbol t shall specify the S_ISVTX bit. When used with a file of type directory, it can be used with the who symbol a, or with no who symbol. It shall not be an error to specify a who symbol of u, g, or o in conjunction with the perm symbol t, but the meaning of these combinations is unspecified. The effect when using the perm symbol t with any file type other than directory is unspecified. octal is 1000 s_isvtx try changing perms and see what :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, if this is supposed to now be empty why not just format the partition (only rakes a few minutes) and end once and for all any mystery that the partition may contain. I recall years ago that there was a way to actually hide directories on HPUX, I wonder if someone found a way to do that here. Perhaps the hackers created those directories and therein lies some future problems. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Ken & Patrick, I ultimately formatted it and moved on, but I thought I might get some interesting feedback from the list so I asked. Thanks again! Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
