Hi Lina,

Yes, in my home directory. The path is /home/lina/try

-????????? ? ? ? ?            ? XX.tar

I imagine it could also be a subtile lack of access rights (SELinux
possibly?), but usually I would suspect a message about it then.

Yes, it has SELinux.

Might be related, but I am not deeply enough into it.

I wonder how can I delete it?

Are you sure that it is a good idea to try to delete something were you
at least partly have no access rights to and then as it appears don´t
know how it happened to be there in the first place?

If thats the monster box I´d contact your system administrator about it
:).

It's well maintained, at least far better than other boxes I met before.
Just it might be my fault, long long time ago, I might chmod blindly at
that time.

Monster box was related to the hardware equipment, not the administration :)

Also be careful on what possibly private information you disclose here
to the public. As interested as I would be to have some access to such
a box :)

How? btw, please feel free to help me delete this directory if you
access to it.

what happens on

chmod u+rwx /home/lina/try

What does

find /home/lina/try -ls

say then?

If -ls in find does not work try:

find /home/lina/try -exec ls -ld {} \;

Thanks,

Hi,

regarding SELinux attributes you can use the "-Z" ("--context") ls option to find out, and remount /home without ACL if necessary (or use "setfacl -b"). But it looks more to me as if this files are somehow corrupted. Did you fsck this file-system lately ?
