All,
I have a hard disc drive that has 3 partitions. The partitions are
mounted to /d01, /d02 and /d03 respectively. The strange problem that I am
having is that each partition has a main directory called oracle as well as
a lost+found directory. The wierd thing is that I cannot see the oracle
directory from a shell window !! If I go into file manager then I can see
the oracle directories fine. If I do a ls -la oracle from bash I get
nothing back. But if I do a cd oracle then I can change into that directory
!!!!

What the hell is going on ? Can someone help ?

Thanks.

Dave.

Are they hidden by chance? .oracle
^
^
Notice the "." at the beginning.

Try: ls -f # to list hidden files/directories.

No they are not hidden. A ls -la would show up hidden files/directories.

What do you see with a blank "ls -la"? Or "ls -la o*"? Just in case
the name of the directory has a space at the end or such...

Hi Dave,
The problem seems to be just strange. If I were you I would try to
1) Rename this Oracle directory and check it with "ls -l" or "ls -la"
2) Create a new "Oracle" named directory and check this one with "ls -l" or "ls -la"

In this way you can understand what is the real problem.

Sincerely,
Salih.

If I do a "ls -la" then nothing is returned. If I do an "ls -o*" then again
nothing is returned. It is really bizarre. It is like a hidden directory.
I have no idea why I can see the directory in file manager but not from a
shell !!

Hmmm,
what about checking your ls command?
Maybe there's an alias?
