Summary: root can't cd into a directory owned by root

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

The directory is on an NFS mount with restrictions/improper setup.

also from Dan G: try accessing it from the console.

and From Tim P:

        1) directory is on a NFS-mounted partition (with no special privileges
        for "root") so "root" gets mapped to "nobody" which so no
        permission to cd into that directory.

        2) filesystem corruption
        
Thanks very much to all!
