Fedora. Remove file containing dollar sign

  • 772

Cannot remove a file nor a directory containing it.

output of ls -la:

-????????? ? ?           ?                  ?            ? 1221036243.V905I191359M574755.domain.com:2$

UPDATE 1

[root@domain Maildir]# chmod -R 777 cur
chmod: cannot access `cur/1221036243.V905I191359M574755.domain.com:2$': No such file or directory

UPDATE 2

[root@domain Maildir]# rm -rf cur
rm: cannot remove `cur': Directory not empty

rm -rf 1221036243.V905I191359M574755.domain.com:2$
rm -rf 1221036243.V905I191359M574755.domain.com:2\$

NO output at all.

UPDATE 3

[root@domain cur]# getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx

UPDATE 4

[root@domain /]# umount backup
[root@domain /]# fsck /dev/md119

    You need to run fsck with the -f option, to actually do the filesystem check.

  2. The problem is that you have read access to the directory but no execute and no write access. Execute access will replace the "?" with useful data, write access will allow you to delete the file.

    Write access is not enough to delete a directory entry. Execute permission is required, too.
