You might want to try ls -liab one directory higher to get inode number of
your problem dir along with possible nonprintable characters it might have
in the name. Then do
find . -inum <inode num> -exec rm -rf {} \;
to delete this directory and all files under it.

Subject: [SunHELP] damaged directories


Hi...

I've had a little question.
I seem to have a directory in a sol 2.6 machine that I cannot seem to get
rid of.  I can cd into it but I cannot get a file listing from anywhere.
I've unmounted the partition and fsck'ed it but I still am not able to get
rid of it.

any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Thanks 
		Angela
