At this point this is the only file in the directory. Originally the
directory was "report" but I changed it to "reportX" and moved all
the
other files out of that directory and into the new one (since my
rsync
cron job only backs up specific directories). If there are more
files
in that directory, I get just the file names, but this rogue file
shows
up in the listing with the directory name first -- every time. I've
tried this:
[...@scarecrow:threshNet]$ rm reportX/*
rm: cannot lstat `reportX/2009-raw\...@\037': No such file or
directory
Sounds to me like you may be dealing with a (hopefully) minor case of
filesystem corruption. Have you tried running fsck over that device?
(Don't forget to unmount it first!)
I figured I might have to do that, but I have to wait for the weekend
before I can do that - the system has a 24 hour cycle that keeps this
RAID in use during weekdays for business. I've looked and not found
other errors, it's backed up regularly, so I'm waiting until Sat. to
do that.
Thanks for the idea.
