two directory with the same name

[CAS_2]

About the "find" command line suggested by
Robert-Jan Goosens.
I think -xdev option is very important to be used:

# cd /
# find . -xdev -inum 2365 -exec mv {} /tmp/vikas \;

Hi Vikas ,

You can try ,

1.# ls -i | grep pam
[ not down the inode nos. of both.]
# ls -b | grep pam [ You may find any diff ]

If no difference , then proceed to 2.

2. Check both the dir , as per inode :

# find . -type d -xdev -inum xxx -print
# find . -type d -xdev -inum yyy -print

[ xxx and yyy are the indoe number of the two dir. ]

[ Any difference ! ]

3. You can compare the size also , to make sure they are really exists and you can move or delete :

#find . -type d -xdev -inum xxx -exec du -sk {} \;
#find . -type d -xdev -inum yyy -exec du -sk {} \;

And then you can move using mv with find.

Hope this will help ,

Cheers,
Raj.D.

Hi Vikas ,

Nice to know that with find and inum you can able to delete it . Cheers.

Also found that you have given 1 points to each , initially I thought it is 10 , but found 0 is vanished.

Giving 1 point each , it seems that you have not got any help from this thread , and may be not happy.

Cheers,
Raj.D.

I am sorry for that, this was my first chance to give points, I have given one point to each one who replied & i was planning to add points to those ppls who's solution works for me, but after that site has not allowed me to change the already assigned points. Hope u understand.
