What does this weird directory listing in Linux mean?

  • 772

I was clearing out some old sites on a CentOS server (MediaTemple DV) and stumbled upon this when doing an ls -lha : http://skitch.com/callmeed/ntgb5/weird-directory-listing

alt text http://img.skitch.com/20100119-cdgske12wthd63q4adk1uumr1e.jpg

All the file names are flashing and I'm not able to remove any of the files with rm -f

What does this mean? Drive/disk problems?

linux centos shell

  1. You've got a bit of filesystem corruption there. Take the machine offline as soon as possible and fsck that filesystem.
