Disappearing files

2007-12-24 19:38:00

OK gurus this on has me stumped.
I have a script that basically collects some log files on a regular
interval, tars them, gzips the tars and ftp's them out. This runs on 8 out
of 9 machines just fine, they all run the same software, just fine. (solaris
7 11/99 on 420s) On the problem box everything in script executes fine, I
get the tared logs properly at their final destination. However, if you look
in the directory where I archive the logs you can NOT see the directories
that store the logs or the final tar ball that gets created. The directory
name is logs.0.0328011915 (last digit being a date time stamp) you can cd
into the directory (cd *.0.*) and list the contents etc. just fine, pwd
gives the exact directory path. You can create other directories and see
them. If you create another directory with a similar name (say
logs.0.0328012015) you can not see that. I have run sync and fsck to no
avail, rebooted (sync;sync;init 6) with another fsck still no dice. I see
the files just fine on my 8 other boxes. All 9 boxes were buit from the same
master disk and have the identical set of packages/patches installed. Why
can I not see my files and directories?

Thanks in advance
