Cannot find "ls" "cp" commands

[dwijayaw]

Hi all


After a power outage, we had trouble booting linux machine(some kind of disk error). My co-worker somehow got in and ran fsck on all disks to fix it.

Now we cannot find "ls" "cp" commands. PATH variable is set properly. /usr/bin has some binaries, but no "ls" or "cp".

Even "find / ls" failed to locate these files

I couldn't reboot using floppy which caused a "Kernel Panic".


I am new to this, please help..

Check your /bin directory, Your user accounts sound messed up.

Also if your looking for a file with a name you know like ls or cp, use the -name option with find. Example. find / -name ls.

You will have much better results.
