Lost folders.
Oddly enough, i just recently lost ALL acess to two folders. Root can still acess but i cannot.

The permissions on both are drw-r--r--.

You need execute permission in order to access a directory. Originally, execute permission on a directory meant "searchable" (i.e., ls -l directory-name) but now execute permission controls access in general (cd, ls, etc.).

Hope this helps.

question about adding a new hard drive
as some of u may have saw in another thread i put in a new hd in my redhat 8.0 system. I'm kinda new to how the linux filesystem works...so now i have more space cause of this hd, but how do I use it?

For example, if my other hard drives were completely full, and then I added a new hd in, could I start saving things in any directory? or do I have to save it in certain folders (depending on the type of filesystem I formatted with right?)

edit: whoops, hit the reply button instead of new thread, mods can u move it to a new thread?
