I can't use "ll" command under root directory, Help me

[XueFeng_1]

I can use "ll" at everywhere but "/". It is no result and no error message when I am typing ll.
Under root directory, "ls" and "ls -a" is available, but "ll","ls -l" and "ls -F" is not
available.

Somebody help me!

I've seen a similar issue before which indicated that your system may have a bad NFS mount-point.

Hi,

# which ll
/usr/bin/ll

to locate "ll" in /usr/bin, you may also print your $PATH,
it should at least include the following,
# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

Hi,

"ls" and "ls -a" read only "/" directoy,
but "ll", "ls -l" and "ls -F" read /usr, /home, ,,,, directory infomation.
( see ditail : man dir, stat )

so, you should clear what directory is wrong.
e.g.)
$ for f in /*
$ do
$ echo $f
$ ll -d $f
$ done

thanks.

Hi,

I've had the same issue with a mounted CD.

It turned out the CD was corrupt.

Take a look at the thread Twang suggested. That helped me solve my problem.
