I would guess since there can be encrypted grub passwords (and
possibly other similar stuff) in there that is why it is locked down.
I did check the acl on the folder and noticed it was locked down to root. I could put an acl on the folder to make the folder readable by me without enabling reading of the contents of the files in that folder, but is that the only way to stop ls from flagging a file as deleted when the parent folder is locked down?

Hi,
      /etc/extlinux.conf is flagged as missing, the file is displayed in
red and the link is shown in white text on a red background. As
mentioned in another thread on this list that file actually is missing.
      /etc/grub2.cfg and /etc/grub2-efi.cfg both of which point to the
same file also display the same way as /etc/extlinux.conf, but in this
case the file pointed to actually does exist, and is linking to
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg, which I regularly write to with sudo and
grub2-mkconfig, but I have also found that I need to use sudo to browse
/boot/grub2. Is it normal for links to be flagged as missing when sudo
is required to list the contents of the directory and why is sudo
required to list the contents of /boot/grub2 when I don't need sudo to
list the contents of /boot? /boot/efi seems to be in the same situation.

regards,
Steve
