Weird directory user group (4294967295) - no access even with root
Hey,
I have the following problem with one of the directories in a mounted ext3 (/dev/sdb1 on /oracle type ext3 (rw)) filesystem on
Linux 2.6.18-194.11.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 10 16:56:30 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I cannot acccess it by any means even as a root,
- listing attributes fails (lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /oracle/fmwhome/user_projects)
- changing ownership doesn't work (chown: changing ownership of `/oracle/fmwhome/user_projects': Operation not permitted)
The entry for the directory is weird, with uid and guid set to -1 and weird mdate

thanks. This is not a nfs share, below is what 'mount' outputs:
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /oracle type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
I was trying to umount and mount /oracle again but it doesn't help either.
