If I correctly understand, the output actually was like drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 1152 Apr 24 2007 /etc > And when I try it with etc/mtab: > > $ls -ld /etc/mtab > ls: /etc/mtab: Permission Denied I've never seen such a problem before :( It is _very_ strange that you cannot ls /etc/mtab while being able to read /etc. Let's run some other tests. What do they output? Test 1. # stat /etc/mtab Test 2. # cat /etc/mtab >/tmp/file # cat /tmp/file Test 3. # cp /etc/mtab /tmp/file # cat /tmp/file I googled about the problem but found only this http://www.linuxhelp.net/forums/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=3&t=518 One of possible reasons is a filesystem corruption (for example, due to your forgetting to unmount it after building the ch.6. Did you?). > I get output from "mount". That's because mount tries to read /proc/mounts if it cannot read /etc/mtab. -- Nothing but perfection Vladimir A.
