<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">The snarky reply would be to use Emacs.<br>
<br>
More seriously:<br>
<br>
When I see something like ?????? in the attributes for a file, my first thought is that the group_upcall on the filesystem is not correct, so permissions are broken. If you can log on as root, you may be able to see it clearly.<br>
<br>
If that doesn't work, you may have to run an fsck on the MDT (which may take minutes to hours depending on the size of your MDT)<br>
<br>
If that doesn't work, follow the procedure for running an lfsck (which will take a long time, and require quite a bit of storage to execute)<br>
