Strange File Permissions

Hey,

We have a client on CentOS with cPanel and their VPS is corrupt by the looks of things. We have tried to remove the following files but it won't allow us to, give an error of: "Operation Not Permitted".

Code:

b--sr-s--t 30068 2036409384  539518322   111,  99 Feb  5  1987  autosave.dev.js
?--xrwx--x 29545 1668161637 1769236596 1629757501 Jul  24  2001 jquery
cr-xr-Sr-t 28711 1948532000 1768431660    32,  44  Jul  1  2002 prototype.js
?--xrw-r-T 25459 1886217589 1950049576  740892711  Oct 17  2021 scriptaculous
?r-Sr-S--- 25973 1701668896  539455839 1936485748  Jul  4  1991 swfobject.js
c--Sr----T 27728 1818312736 1701585011   114, 101  Jun  1  1975 wp-lists.js

The files are located here: /vz/private/127.old/home/scbuzz/public_html/blag/wp-includes/js/

We have tried to rebuild the VPS, however, it wasn't successful expressing that a device is busy.

We are planning to run FSCK on the host, but would rather not do that.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello,

According to your file listing approximately every file has "Sticky Bit" Set and
each file is owned by some user id.

tell me one thing. are you able to change permission and ownership ?

Thanks

...and in addition to that what filesystem does it have? ReiserFS by any chance? Have there been previous problems with it or is this in any way related to your post #9 here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...08#post3405908 solution?

// BTW if you found and remembered the cause for http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...lation-696788/, CYP update it? TIA

This is what I get when trying to change the owner and permissions;

Code:

chmod: changing permissions of `autosave.dev.js': Operation not permitted
[root@node2 js]# chown root:root autosave.dev.js
chown: changing ownership of `autosave.dev.js': Operation not permitted

This is a OpenVZ VPS on CentOS 5.3 32bit.

Thanks.
