permission issue ?

[steven Burgess_2]

hi everyone

have been sat at my desk now for 10 hours following an issue with emc storage, i have all but recovered (following data corruption) 3 application filesystems. I just can't see what the issue is.

/appl/patrol

both dirs are 777 (have ammended to this on purpose)

/appl is root:root
/appl/patrol is patrol:csmadm

when i try to do

find /appl/patrol -name "*"

I get

find: cannot open /appl/patrol permission denied

cd /appl/patrol
touch ste

above is ok

cd /appl/patrol
find . | xargs ls -ld

find: cannot open .: permission denied

What do you reckon ?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Hi Steve,

If /appl/patrol is a seperate filesystem, unmount /app/patrol and check the permission of the directory /app/patrol. I would suggest you set it to 777 if necessary and then mount /appl/patrol and try.

Hope this helps.

Where is the mount point? Is it mounted to /appl or /appl/patrol?

You should unmount the filesystem and then check the permissions of the directory you are mounting it on. Your problems could be there.

# umount /appl/patrol

# ls -l /appl/patrol

or if /appl is the mount point:

# umount /appl

# ls -l /appl
