Not able to access /usr/local directory
 
Dear All,

I am not able to access the directory /usr/local. But when I do ls I am able to see it.

Code:
[root@indra ~]# ls -ld /usr/local
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb  9 12:11 /usr/local
[root@indra ~]# cd /usr/local
-bash: cd: /usr/local: No such file or directory
[root@indra ~]#
Thanks

cd /us <tab>/lo<tab>

Yes, I tried it gives local.

Here are few set of commands executed pertaining to /usr/local

Code:
[root@indra ~]# file /usr/local
/usr/local: directory
[root@indra ~]# du -csh /usr/local
du: cannot read directory `/usr/local': No such file or directory

Your /usr/local/ seems to be empty, doesn't it?

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 9 12:11 /usr/local

Try to creat e an empty file (touch /usr/locate/touchtest.out) and browse into that to check if you still facing the problem.

No Sayan.

Need to take downtime for that !! I hope it is deleted from corresponding inode, but when I do ls the directory still exists.

First: I'm not too familiar with autofs and the lot, but I do believe the problem is related to it.

Your profile mentions several distro's, which one do you have this problem with?

Also: Are you using NIS or NFS?
