Dear Linuxers,

I'm running RH 7.1. Yesterday, I found a directory /usr/local/src corrupted. I can't cd into that directory. The output of ls -l gives.

?--s-w-rw- 10172 2381774154 666668534 4257099022294712319 Apr 5 1958 /usr/local/src

Note the timestamp, going back to 1958. Really wierd output.

Today morning, network failed. Can't even bring up lo interface. Says /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: No such file or directory.

$ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

?--------- 50680 1904803840 2332316496 14160381047924035664 Jul 12 1937 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Has anyone encountered this type of problem. As a root also I cant do anything.

Also, lately I upgraded to RH 7.1. When I ping any host it gives me Warning:time of the day goes back, taking countermeasures.

If you notice the timestamp of the above 2 directories, it has gone way back. Can there be any link between these two?

Awaiting reply, Best regards, Mayur Joshi, Interpole Solutions
