Booting from a Fedora Live CD seems to allow the files to be accessed. It appears the kernel in Fedora 15 (yes out of support but 18 was missing the kickstart logic so we couldnt update) is the problem. I found reference to xfs readlink updates but going to try one of the previous kernels until we can schedule the OS reinstall to a later release. With several science packages installed and customized it takes a while to get the OS updated.

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?
