Hi, firstly I am not so familiar with linux and i think i have done some damage to the red hat server. It seems that now in command line I am unable to use any basic command whatsoever (ls, move, cp, bash, etc).
I was trying to deploy an application and have changed the symbolic link (soft link?) with the library file. Now I'm unable to even SSH into the server. However, it seems like the GUI works ok, for now.
Could you guys please advise me on how to amend this problem,except for format/recovery as it is impossible for this server.
And a 2nd question, how do i mount a NTFS USB external drive onto Redhat 3.4? Or any commands to mount a FAT32 usb drive? I tried the mount -t /dev/sdb /flash command and it fails.
About the first question, the history was this:-
And now the result is

namei
NAMEI(1) User Commands NAMEI(1)NAME
namei - follow a pathname until a terminal point is found
SYNOPSIS
namei [options] pathname...
DESCRIPTION
namei interprets its arguments as pathnames to any type of Unix file (symlinks, files, directories, and so forth). namei then follows each
pathname until an endpoint is found (a file, a directory, a device node, etc). If it finds a symbolic link, it shows the link, and starts
following it, indenting the output to show the context.
This program is useful for finding "too many levels of symbolic links" problems.
For each line of output, namei uses the following characters to identify the file type found:
f: = the pathname currently being resolved
d = directory
l = symbolic link (both the link and its contents are output)
s = socket
b = block device
c = character device
p = FIFO (named pipe)
- = regular file
? = an error of some kind
namei prints an informative message when the maximum number of symbolic links this system can have has been exceeded.
OPTIONS -l, --long
Use the long listing format (same as -m -o -v).
-m, --modes
Show the mode bits of each file type in the style of ls(1), for example 'rwxr-xr-x'.
-n, --nosymlinks
Don't follow symlinks.
-o, --owners
Show owner and group name of each file.
-v, --vertical
Vertically align the modes and owners.
-x, --mountpoints
Show mountpoint directories with a 'D' rather than a 'd'.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
