What is your working directory? Did you already try removing the symlink and recreating it? What is the answer to nenonano's post?

Sigh, come on. Read. It is a post in this thread, I do not think that is to hard to find: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,42852.msg202922.html#msg202922

Summary

• the root ibay folder for the ibays "accounts", "hee" and "namecard" are all symlinks to mounted filesystems (note: midnight commander (MC) shows this by displaying an "@" in front of the filename)
• the symlink target - /mnt/newdisk/ibays/account - is currently read only.  Attempts to change the permissions on the mount point return "read only file system"
• raycheng has not posted the information requested by neonano and cactus in these posts.
• raycheng has changed the problem description:
  • original problem description "I cannot access my ibays"
  • latest problem description "i can't add or remove any files or folder"

Advice

• Try not to waste the time of people providing free support on the forum - if you alienate the people helping you they are likely to stop responding.  Nothing alienates a volunteer support person as much as completely ignoring their requests, then re-asking the same questions.
• Tell us which problem you are actually experiencing - the original problem, or the latest problem.  That is, are you unable to access the ibay(s) in question, or are you simply unable to add or remove files and folders?
• Post the requested information in your next response.  Do not re-post any new questions or comments until you have posted the information already requested.

In your NEXT post

• run the command cat /etc/fstab and post the results
• run the command mount and post the results
• Enter the words "My problem is" followed by one of the following letters:
  
  • A if you are unable access any of the symlinked ibays
  • B if you are unable to add or remove files and folders from any of the symlinked ibays
  • C if the problem has changed since we started working on this issue - from "unable to access" to "unable to add or remove"
  • D if none of the above EXACTLY DESCRIBES your problem (Don't elaborate, you'll get more questions if it becomes necessary).

sorry for all the trouble , I will get back to all of you as I do not have access to the server during the week end.
1. I cannot access the account ibays , in whatever ways i try to. as you can see it prompt that it was not a directory.
2. few days ago when account ibays was accessable , the error was diskspace low and I cannot add , rename , create files but able to read.
I m still very new to SME , appreciate all your help and I m willing to learn as much as i can to contribute back to this forum.
thanks again
