 Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 2:16 pm Post subject: File permission borked [solved] |
 |
|
[EDIT]
Moved /var/lib /var/lib.permiss and made a new folder /var/lib. Then copied everything back into lib that needed to be there an made a new init.d folder
[/EDIT]
I cannot boot into Gentoo currently.
The file/folder /var/lib/init.d has 'no' permissions on it, that is I cannot access it as any user, even on a live cd.
The output is:
| Code: |
root@livecd:/mnt/gentoo/var/lib# ls -l init.d
ls: init.d: Permission denied
root@livecd:/mnt/gentoo/var/lib# ls -l | grep init.d
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? init.d
|
With similar results when asked for root passwd trying to boot into gentoo.
I cannot change this as there is strictly no access to it as any user,
Please help,

| Code: | drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2008-01-01 19:54 init.d

those permissions should be recursive. i'd start off with a chown -R root:root and if that works, then you can chmod the rest.
cheers

| This doesn't work, I've already tried it, root cannot do anything to permissions of the file. I've got it working again but I'm now stuck with a file that I can neither delete nor repair. |

try to check your file system, looks much like a broken filesystem

I had the same problem, fixed by booting from a livecd and running | Code: | | fsck.jfs -f -v /dev/hda2 |
