Corrupt File

Hi All,

Just a quick bit of help needed here. I have a directory that, when doing an 'ls', reports itself as being 24 meg in size. Thats not the contents, the actually directory, where clearly it should be 512 bytes.

So I've tried an 'fsck' which didn't fix things, so I'm a little stuck. The directory in question in the 'data' directory of my mysql install. :-(

Anybody have any ideas?Last last backup is far too old.. I'm holding back the tears at the moment.....

Stuart.

I don't use MySQL as such, but you should try ls -la. It could be possible that the folder contains some hidden files and folders which will be listed by this command.
