df: cannot statvfs (mounting permission problems)
When I'm as root, I see all my partitions. When I'm as test user, I get these errors

Also /opt looks mounted, but when I got there, I get a permission denied

/opt: Permission denied
I have several such machines, and this is the only one giving me problems.
/opt/test/1 /opt/test/2 /opt/test/3 are on a separate hard disk but that hard disk looks healthy when I type format

> have the test user permissions
Could you umount those /opt/test/1, /opt/test/2, and /opt/test/3 as root and "chmod 755 /opt/test/*"?
Then mount those 3 filesystem again.

Here's another error message/weirdness...
# statvfs
/opt/test/statvfs: Permission denied
!?!?
And when I type some other commands, it gives me similar errors

Sure. I'll do that, on those filesystems. But .. the problems also lies in the /opt directory which *IS* mounted (take a look above) and is giving me permission problems, I cannot cd to /opt and /opt has both root and test user folders and I cannot just chown all of /opt as 'test' cause its gonna mess up my system...

Ok, did what you asked wesly and no change... get the same "permission denied" when I try to cd to /opt
and /opt/test/1 /opt/test/2 /opt/test/3
and /opt/test/1 /opt/test/2 /opt/test/3
As root what does 'ls -ld /opt /opt/test /opt/test/*' show?
> "chmod 755 /opt/test/*"
Oops, should be
# chmod -R 755 /opt/test/*

Can you mount the disk to different dir, eg /mnt? If you can umount them and mount
them to a different dir, you can delete dir 1/2/3 under /opt/test, then remake the empty
dirs.
If you still have problem, shutdown the system, use Solaris CD to boot up the box in single user mode, then run "fsck" to all filesystem
eg :
fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c0txd0sx

> shutdown the system, use Solaris CD to boot up the box in single user mode
For fsck, is it necessary to use CD to boot into single user mode?
Or in the "ok" prompt type in "boot -s" is enough? That's what I usually did.

When you have a system in unknow status, it is better to use Solaris CD to boot up to
single user mode. Of course, if you are positive about the OS filesystem, then you can
just do "boot -s". Just image the situation that / ( /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 ), and you run
the fsck from the HD might not be able to fix your filesystem!.

I'm somewhat skeptical as to it being a file system problem since things behave proper for root. I'd still like to know what 'ls -ld /opt /opt/test /opt/test/*' shows because sounds very much like a permissions issue.
ASKER
Ok, the problem was the permissions on the /opt folder. They were set to
drwxr-rr-r 2 root root /opt
I'll give 1/2 of the points to wesly and 1/2 go jlevie. Thanks for the help guys!

ASKER
Ah,. For some reason I was not able to split them... wesley, if you want ask the admin to contact me and Ill tell them to give you 1/2 of the points. jlevie did have the solution from the start, i was wasn't paying attention!!! Thanks guys!
I thought that would be what the problem was.
ASKER
Thanks yuzh. I'll fix that now.

/opt has directories belonging both to root and the test
And on all other machines I can go to to /opt/test/1 /opt/test/2 /opt/test/3 as test user no problem **AND** when I 'su' I get those 3 filesystems mounted no problem and all 3 are with the test permissions!!
