The directory name is the last thing listed (. and ..). {.} is the current directory, and {..} is the parent directory (one level up). Thus, if you wanted to move up one directory, you would type `cd ..`.This is what I see when I look in the following folder, when it is unmounted: [neil@laptop neil]$ pwd /home/neil/mnt/redhat/neil [neil@laptop neil]$ ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 neil neil 4096 Dec 18 20:56 . drwxr-xr-x 3 neil neil 4096 Dec 18 20:56 .. But I can't seem to cd into either of the neil folders? Or am I misreading this? I see it as two different folders both called neil? Is this correct or am I missing something? If they are there this could be where the missing folders are?
The neil neil is the name of the owner and group to whom each file/directory belongs. Check your home directory (`ls -la /home/neil) to see move files/folders. If you only have the . and .. directories, that means that nothing else is in there.
Do you remember the names of the files/folders that you lost? If so, you can update your locate database and try to locate the name:
(This will take 5-10 minutes to complete)
su -
Password: (enter the root password to become superuser)
updatedb (This is the long part)
locate name (where name is the name of the files that you lost)
