While trying to make a mounted directory containing images available to my wife on another computer, I created a soft link in her home dir, to the /usr/local/film subdirectory (which I had already mounted through a soft link in my own home dir). She could not read the contents from her computer.
I deleted her soft link, tried it again in a different location, and deleted again. From my own directory now, I get a really weird result when trying to see the directory itself: ------------------ 06:19:07 daddy:~# ls -l /usr/local/film/ total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /usr/local/film/camera ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /usr/local/film/cd ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /usr/local/film/lost+found ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /usr/local/film/movies ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /usr/local/film/temp ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /usr/local/film/vaughanPix 06:19:10 daddy:~# su Password: [1] Done HISTIGNORE= hpotter:/home/daddy# ls -l /usr/local/film/ total 36 drwxrwxr-x 6 daddy daddy 4096 2006-06-03 12:35 camera drwxrwxr-x 4 daddy daddy 4096 2006-08-12 16:36 cd drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2005-01-21 19:43 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 daddy daddy 4096 2006-05-28 00:17 movies drwxr-xr-x 3 daddy daddy 4096 2006-06-04 08:50 temp drwxr-xr-x 17 daddy daddy 4096 2006-06-02 10:41 vaughanPix ---------------- I don't know if something got screwed via NFS or a misplaced/lost link or whatever, but cannot get it smoothed out. I ran e2fsck with no luck, rebooted with no change, and don't know what else to do. My wife can see the contents of the directory like root. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions about this?
