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 ?



$ fsck -c
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
/dev/mapper/vg_mars-lv_root is mounted.

WARNING!!!  The filesystem is mounted.   If you continue you ***WILL***
cause ***SEVERE*** filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no

check aborted.

$ fsck -n
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Warning!  /dev/mapper/vg_mars-lv_root is mounted.
fsck.ext4: Permission denied while trying to open
/dev/mapper/vg_mars-lv_root
You must have r/o access to the filesystem or be root


There are some other distracting message in dmesg, like:

CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
Status code returned 0xc000006a NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
mdrun_mpi[945]: segfault at 1fe7360 ip 00000000007df9b9 sp
00007fffdf9ffef0 error 4 in mdrun_mpi[400000+480000]


Thanks,




Sorry, I wrongly assumed you were familiar with fsck, you can't check a mounted file-system. The error messages are normal, fsck won't proceed for very good reasons if the file-system is mounted. CIFS errors are just what it says: wrong password. Looks like someone tried to mount a samba share with wrong credentials.
"mdrun_mpi"  is some executable which is segfaulting.

A corrupt file-system could generate such cascading errors, but they could also be unrelated. Anyway this system needs some serious attention from root !
