Code:
find ./ -inum 67115 -exec ls -ial {} \;

try that to see if you can find the information based on its inode. if it does show anything try changing the ls command for a cat command or vi command depending on what you want to do with it.

no luck, finding using inode doesn't work. du works too. I just want to remove the directory and create a new one. I don't think it contains any data.

Code:
[root@server] # find ./ -inum 67115 -exec ls -ial {} \;
find: stat() error ./ban_output: No such file or directory
[root@server] # find ./ -inum 67115 -exec cat {} \;
find: stat() error ./ban_output: No such file or directory
[root@server] # find ./ -inum 67115 -exec vi {} \;
find: stat() error ./ban_output: No such file or directory
[root@server] # du -sh * | grep -i ban
   0K   ban_output
[root@server] # rmdir ban_output
rmdir: directory "ban_ouput": Directory does not exist

df -h -> what does the following mean:
Code:
df: cannot statvfs /export/home/lumadmin/ban_output: No such file or directory

That probably means that the directory name contains a special character, which is why I asked you to post the output of ls -lba. The b is an additional option to show these specials, which makes it a whole lot easier to clear the problem!

Tried
Code:
ls -lba

but with no luck. I doubt it uses a special character, because i cannot
Code:
mkdir ban_output

Fixed. sorry, it turns out the folder was an NFS mount point after all. Smilie
Just restarted the NFS client and it worked.

Thank You guys for all your time and effort.
