Had a call from one of my DBA's this morning about problems accessing a specific
partition. Upon further investigation I discovered that the mount point in
question was missing the "." directory entry. I showed the oracle subdirectory,
but once you were at the mount point, /u17 in this case, you got an i/o error
trying to cd .. or cd oracle. you could cd out to an implicit directory
location. in any case, I did a mkdir /u17/test. After that, everything is
fine. I did notice, however, that the "." directory showed up with a timestamp
consistant with the mkdir command.
The question is, and a moot question at that, can you delete the "." directory?
Or perhaps is there a bigger OS issue here. This is an ES40 running V4.0F PL1
