$ pwd

looks wrong to me. Seems that somebody performed
chown -R oracle:oinstall /CIB_TF

lost+found belongs to root - not oracle!
Delete lost+found and recreate it with

1. mklost+found

Command.

Check if
$ du
is an alias in your Oracle Environment by executing as Userid oracle
$ alias|grep du
or
$ env|grep du
or
$ set|grep du

Maybe your filesystem is corrupt.

Dear Ku

Thank for the feedback.Anyway the is not alias found under oracle id and even at other filesystems lost+found owned by oralce:oninstall but able to run du without any problem.I have same feel this filesystem could be currupted .

I have question here if run fsck on the currupted FS is there any change to loss data ? which combination flag is the best pratice for fsck ?

Hello,
BEFORE your filesystem check, make the changes of the lost+found Directory.
I do not know what happens if the File/Dir Permissions were like yours.

Yes, loss of data maybe possible. So before your filesystem check - do make backup!

It is just a permission problem - and if I'm right - running '/bin/pwd' as oracle in /CIB_TF will fail. BTW, this command is different from just plain 'pwd', since by giving the full path you avoid using the ksh built-in which does not give an error.

If /bin/pwd however does fail with a permission error, all you need to do is 'umount /CIB_TF' and check the permissions of the underlying mount-point directory /CIB_TF. The mount-point should be owned by root.system and most importantly, have 0755 permissions. After remounting the /CIB_TF file-system the permissions you expect (owned by oracle) should still be in place, and all your commands will work.
