SCSI HELP!

I have a very strange problem.

I am using the latest RedHat release 5.0
A scsi disk error (causing bus resets) using a Buslogic BT-958W and Quantum
Atlas III 4.3GB Drives has resulted in filesystem damage.
(I have been in touch with Leonard Zubkoff author of the Buslogic driver and
have received fixes for the errors.)

However, the file damage still exists and
FSCK does not fix it!!!

with an  ls -al the results in the /etc directory
contain entries like the following:

?--xr-Sr-t       26740 29285        8302              170173613 Jan 25 2026
fdprm

Strange I know!
I can't remove the file as an error stating "Read Only Filesystem" is all I
get (even though /etc is mounted RW)

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS????
Or at least delete the files so I may reinstall them !!

Is there a utility to edit the directory entries so that I can manually
remove them??

HELP!

Please e-mail suggestions to:

Well you know when you get the file names that start and end with a #
sign.  You have to delete them as follows:

The file name: #group#
to delete it type: rm ?group?

So I belive that you have to do the same thing.

rm ?8302? -f

-f = force

or  possibly do the following: chmod 777 8302
which will change the file to rwrwrwrw
then rm ?8302? -f

I could be wrong, let me know if that works....
Thanks
