I did that also, no errors found. I was checking for attributes but nothing can read the file. I can set the file to 666 just fine and still nothing but note that I am doing all the tests as root to not run in to user access problems. I'm downloading a live cd now to see if I can figure out what the problem is.

I would reboot the machine from a removeable medium and run a "xfs_repair -v" on all of the partitions. If this doesn't do it, it's most probably not XFS-related. http://www.sysresccd.org You can write the image to an USB-stick easily: 1. isohybrid sysresccd-image.iso 2. cat sysresccd-image.iso > /dev/sdX Sysresccd contains all XFS-tools you need. Isohybrid is part of the Fedora syslinux package. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
