What is a "static" partition?
I'm trying to do an ls -l to what the system thinks the file belongs to. I execute su to get root privileges. I then type
ls -l
I get back the following error messages
/bin/ls: thursday.tar.bz: Permission denied /bin/ls: check1: Permission denied /bin/ls: check1.txt Permision denied.
It then lists the directory, but the files listed above - which should be in this directory - don't show up as present.
This implies that root doesn't have full privilege in this directory. How can this be?
Is the directory on a local disk? If so, an fstab is in order. Root should always be able to do "ls". Actually, on second thoughts, it doesn't matter where it is. It is almost certainly file system corruption, since there is no way that I know of to give "ls" permissions on just some files in a directory. It's an all-or-nothing deal So fsck
