We had a freak incident on Solaris. Our java program couldn't read a file until we touched the file. It was reading other files just fine, it just seemed to be completely blind to this one particular file. We use standard java FileReader for reading the file. After we touched the file, it was picked up and processed instantaneously. No issues with permissions either. Any idea what caused this?
