..cp'ing in a new ls _should_ work. You also wanna compare it with
what _should_ be there, I guess a "pro" linux box is a bigger fish
than any Wintendo for the script-kiddies out there.
..tail -f syslog, hop it up to debug or untill it tells you what's
going on, hdparm etc tools that talk with the hardware, it could be
anything from a failing disk thru power glitches.
..chk that your destination disk is writeable, df, mount, and even
cat /proc/mounts may get this wrong with a dead journal, IMext3-E,
chk dumpe2fs or ditto for your own fs, reiserfs, jsf, xfs etc.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
