cannot delete file

gekkos · 01-10-2007, 08:57 AM

Hi,
I have a directory with these permissions

Code:

# ll
?---------  ? ?   ?      ?                ? mydirectory

Now I cannot delete this directory also not with root
Error I got:

Code:

# rm -rf mydirectory
rm: cannot lstat `mydirectory': Permission denied

Anyone knows how to delete this directory?
Thanks

It looks like an error in your filesystem. Check your partitions..

Have you tried....

Code:

sudo rm -rf mydirectory

Hi,
Its not an error in my filesystem and I did rm -rf as root.
Anyone an idea what the problem can be??

Its not an error in my filesystem
It is (and you're prolly running Reiser).
Check partitions like Avallach said anyway.
