Linux LS command does not list the correct file
Hi,

I am logged into as root & inside the home directory of another user.

Code:
ls -a
[root@mymac user1]# ls -laq
total 44
drwx------   4 user1 adm 4096 Nov 23 05:10 .
drwxr-xr-x. 12 root     root   4096 Nov 22 13:05 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 user1 adm   18 Nov 22 13:05 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r--   1 user1 adm  193 Nov 22 13:05 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r--   1 user1 adm  231 Nov 22 13:05 .bashrc
drwxr-xr-x   3 user1 adm   17 Nov 22 13:05 .cache
drwxr-xr-x   3 user1 adm   17 Nov 22 13:05 .config
-rw-------   1 user1 adm   46 Nov 22 13:05 .k5login
-rw-r--r--   1 user1  adm  172 Nov 22 13:05 .kshrc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     18 Nov 23 05:10 .profile_new
-rw-------   1 user1 adm    8 Nov 23 07:36 .sh_history

Now when i say

Code:
ls -a "*profile*"
ls: cannot access *profile*: No such file or directory
ls -a *profile*
ls: cannot access *profile*: No such file or directory
ls -a *profile
ls: cannot access *profile: No such file or directory
ls -a profile
ls: cannot access profile: No such file or directory

I was expecting
Quote:
.bash_profile & .profile_new
to be displayed as an output to my ls command but none of the command yield any output.

Code:
uname -a
Linux mymac 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 17 03:02:37 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can you please suggest whats wrong ?

fdmns

fdmns(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							  fdmns(4)

NAME

       fdmns - contains file domain names and devices

DESCRIPTION

       The  fdmns directory ensures access to file domains by providing symbolic links to every volume in the file domain.  The mkfdmn, rmvol, and
       addvol utilities automatically manage the fdmns directory.  Each file domain is described by its own subdirectory within the  fdmns  direc-
       tory.

       Back  up  the fdmns directory structure regularly using the vdump utility or any other backup utility (dump, tar, cpio). If the contents of
       the fdmns directory are deleted or corrupted, restore the directory from your most recent backup tape.  You must  also  restore	the  fdmns
       directory after installing a new version of the operating system.

       Always  keep  a hardcopy record of each file domain and its associated volumes in case a backup copy of the fdmns directory is unavailable.
       If you have a record, you can reconstruct the fdmns directory structure. The following is a sample fdmns directory:

       total 2 drwxr-x---     2 root	system	  512 Nov 24 18:35 scratch/ drwxr-xr-x	   2 root    system    512 Nov 24 18:35 usr/

	./scratch: total 0 lrwxr-x---	  1 root    system    10 Oct 23 15:13 dsk10c@ ->  /dev/disk/dsk10c  lrwxr-x---	   1  root    system	10
       Oct 24 11:33 dsk11c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk11c lrwxr-x---     1 root	 system     9 Oct 13 18:29 dsk8c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk8c

	./usr:	total  0 lrwxr-x---	1 root	  system     9 Oct 24 10:52 dsk2g@ -> /dev/disk/dsk2c lrwxr-x---     1 root    system	  9 Nov 24
       10:35 dsk9c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk9c

RESTRICTIONS

       Do not remove or modify the contents of this directory.	If the fdmns file becomes corrupted, you can no longer access (or mount) any file-
       set in the file domains.
