Recently I noticed something odd. I haven't been paying much attention to my logcheck emails within recent months because I'm behind a firewall, and am not worried as much about outside attacks. But I started noticing an odd problem. One of my cron jobs is trying to access /dev/sdh13 (that is, it's running 'find' which hits sdh13 in its search) but is getting a "permission denied." So I tried accessing /dev/sdh13 via ls, rm, cp, etc. but I get something like:
rm: cannot lstat `/dev/sdh13': Permission denied even as root. I can access all other sdh device nodes, but this one is an enigma. I don't have any SCSI drives on my system. I'd like to solve this problem somehow. Is there anything that I can do. I'm not using devfs, and the filesystem on which /dev resides is reiserfs. Is it somehow possible to access the filesystem without performing any permission checks? Or, is there some way to learn whatever is blocking my access to /dev/sdh13 and work around it? I'm thinking that perhaps filesystem corruption may be involved, as I recently purchased a UPS and experienced quite a few power failures due to storms which the UPS wasn't charged enough to handle (or so I think.) But I'd thought that reiserfs wouldn't corrupt because of power failures, so I'm not sure whether this may be an issue. Any suggestions? I've worked with ext2 before, but reiserfs is relatively new to me, so I'm not entirely sure how to diagnose problems with it. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
