Hi all,
This is a weird thing. We have a directory mounted over cifs from windows to hp-ux 11.11. In a particular subdirectory there are more than 400.000 files and they are seen from the windows box. But, in the unix we only see 62 files. We have found out a file is causing the
problem. If this file is removed, we can list all the files. BUT if we create a file with the same name, the ll command only
list 62 files again. We can create files with other names and it works. The name of the file is similar to others in the same subdirectory. And to get the thing worse, sometimes the ll works when the file exists and sometimes it only shows 62 files.....
HPUX:/path/path/path#touch filename.001
HPUX:/path/path/path#ll filename.001
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 0 Feb 24 08:45 filename.001
HPUX:/path/path/path#ll |wc -l
62
HPUX:/path/path/path#rm filename.001
HPUX:/path/path/path#ll |wc -l
449260
HPUX:/path/path/path#
Any idea what is going on ?
