A specific directory is completely invisible to “ls” and “ls -la”, but I can “cd” into it
This started happening out of the blue. Originally, I was able to "ls" my "Storage" folder and all 3 subdirectories were listed accordingly. ('Beta Profiles' 'OS Backups' 'Software')
Starting yesterday, "ls" now only returns, ('Beta Profiles' 'OS Backups')
As if "Software" doesn't exist anymore
I can "cd" into "Software" still and all of my files are still intact. I can only get the folder to reappear by renaming it, but once I change it back, it won't show again!
I feel like a Rootkit may be nesting in there, because this is a common symptom. Any ideas on how to fix this?
