folder not visible in ls -l
Hi,

I have a strange problem. when i do ls i see a folder, say 'abc', but it disappears when i do ls -l. I cannot access or mv that folder. Solaris 10 (SPARC) doesn't allow me to create a new folder with the same name, as it already exists.
'file' command also doesn't recognize i 'abc' existance.

NFS? If not check the file system if you can.

its local disk. i can't run an fsck on it right now. du -sh * shows it as an empty folder (0k)

What's the output of ls -lba? Any funny \-escapes?

nope, any use of -l, and 'ban_output' is not listed.
Code:
[root@server] # ls
ban_output                    disableusers.txt              process.txt                   user_20100601_102804.xml.log
