Not strictly a linux question, but I'm hoping someone on this list might have some insight. How can a file disappear and then reappear again? I know that sounds ridiculous, but look at the following: # ls -li passwd ; date 63444 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 967593 Jan 17 15:20 passwd Wed Jan 17 15:38:26 EST 2001 # ls -li passwd ; date ls: passwd not found Wed Jan 17 15:38:27 EST 2001 # ls -li passwd ; date 63444 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 967593 Jan 17 15:20 passwd Wed Jan 17 15:38:28 EST 2001 # ls -li passwd ; date ls: passwd not found Wed Jan 17 15:38:28 EST 2001 # ls -li passwd ; date ls: passwd not found Wed Jan 17 15:38:29 EST 2001 # ls -li passwd ; date 63444 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 967593 Jan 17 15:20 passwd This makes the problem go away. For awhile anyway. # mv passwd p # cp p passwd # # # ls -li passwd ; date 88967 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 967593 Jan 17 15:38 passwd Wed Jan 17 15:38:55 EST 2001 # ls -li passwd ; date 88967 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 967593 Jan 17 15:38 passwd Wed Jan 17 15:38:56 EST 2001 etc. This is on Tru64 on a DS20. OS bug? Filesystem corruption? Any ideas for further diagnositic work? -Ron- - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
