Hi All,

Not sure, if someone here has come across this issue before. Looks like File System corruption.

[root@SB-61-69 rc.d]# ls -al
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jun 9 14:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 69 root root 8192 Jun 9 14:03 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 9 00:00 init.d
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2352 Jun 26 2008 rc

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 9 14:02 rc4.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 9 14:02 rc5.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 8 23:46 rc6.d
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 220 Jun 26 2008 rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27488 Jul 25 2008 rc.sysinit


I tried google to find something, but no luck. Could someone please provide some feedback on what might be the issue? Is it due to some faulty HDD sectors or virus maybe??

The above (?) question mark issue is there on few other directories and files.

[root@SB-61-69 rc.d]# uname -r
2.6.16

Thanks for your help in advance.

It could be file system corruption. What OS Distribution are you using? What file system are you using?

Can you enter rc3.d? If not then you may not want to reboot until you have a good backup and are willing to do a bare-metal restore, as your server may fail to restart.

Hi Jeff,

- Its a CentOS 5 Distro with ext3 partition.
- no we can't enter rc3.d
- We did the reboot as the client requested us to do so and since his website wasn't working, which made us to check what went wrong and we found that issue. Server was coming backup but it wasn't starting any services and we had to start all the services manually.
- We have got the backup and used that to build a new server for the client

Jeff, we had a similar problem a couple of months back with two server both showing ? (question marks) instead of the d (directory) e.g ?rwxr-xr-x and I tried google, but couldn't find anything. We ran seagate hdd test tool, but found no issues with the hard drive as well. I am not sure, what all things can cause the file system to get corrupted.

Thanks heaps for your help jeff and we have already built a new server and managed to import the data back.

Regards

Rohit
 
I'm glad to hear you're moving forward. Unfortunately I'm not a hardware man, and I would have replaced hardware as well.
