Help! How to delete weird files ?? - Linux

dfs · #1 07-07-2008

Guys, I have two files in a directory with weird permissions, size, owner, date etc... the problem is I can´t delete them! I tried to chmod the files and everything, but nothing seems to work. Anyone got any ideas ???

Look:

Code:

[root@test exp]# ls -l
total 1327968579
?---------     48 1645863428 2150720025 1750863360 Dec 31  1969 imp_dqds.log
?r----S---  14959   50332160 3929490181        115 Dec 31  1969 tabsctcsys.dmp

thanks for the help!

PS. I forgot to say, system is Red Hat ES 4

What FS? If ext2/ext3 try:

Code:

sudo chattr -i imp_dqds.log tabsctcsys.dmp

And then remove them.
