I am getting below error when trying to find for the files under /var/spool/ directory.
unix@test1 >ls -la /var/spool
/var/spool: I/O error
Please advise
Can you show what you get when you try this series of commands
#does this command at least show spool as a directory and run as a directory?
ls -lad /var
# if it does try
cd /var/spool
# if no errors try this and show full output, including errors
ls -l
I think the file system may be damaged. /var/run is a tmpfs file system, it should be there. What is the version of Solaris, please. Or the output of
uname -a

Thank you for the update.
