invalid UID and GID and huge size files
Apparently my hard drive took a hit, and I have a couple of files that have out of range UID and GID, and are multi-gigabytes in size. I can't do anything to these files (delete, zero, change mode, etc.). In my previous life as a Unix administrator, we used to zero the INODE and run fsck. But I've been away long enough to no longer remember how to do that! I was able to move the directory for one of the files to /tmp, but the other file is in a directory with too many other files, sooo HELP PLEASE!!
Here's the file information:
/tmp/BAD/
---x--xr-x 1 1464762445 1464781532 4273602233 2023-10-01 08:24 changelog.gz
/home/jim/
--w----rwx 1 2512683143 2512688668 2929766048 2010-12-28 01:56 custom_
Thanks,
