But I discovered something really strange. If I compare the output of
'ls -al /' on my system and in the chroot, several directory sizes seem
to be different. I thought that directorys always have a size of
4069 bytes, but apparently this is not the case:
The size of directories is a multiple of the inode size, at least in
ext2/3 filesystems (might be different in reiserfs, I'm no expert). If
a directory has many entries, its size grows and will not shrink back if
you delete these entries. Since your system has been in use for several
years, the differences are not so strange.
Ah, that explains the differences. thanks for the information.
(on system) # ls -al /
total 113
drwx------ 24 root root 4096 2008-07-03 18:51 .
drwx------ 24 root root 4096 2008-07-03 18:51 ..
[...]
Now to the failing su (and login) for non-root users: Have a close look
at the first lines of your directory listing and tell me if you see
anything strange. ;-)
I bet that after "chmod 755 /" you will be able to log in as a normal
user again and your services will start to function. :-)
Yay, that's it! Everything works as expected again. Thanks a lot!!!
I don't know why I didn't find it earlier myself.
thanks for all your help, you rock!
greetings,
jonas
