ls question

This morning I had problems accessing the files on an array. format would
not return a list of drives and I was getting SCSI transport errors in
/var/adm/messages. The problem was fixed by rebooting the fiber channel
switch between the server and the array. I was pleased that my Oracle
database did not drop, but waited patiently for the disks to become
available again.

My question is about ls. During the access problem, before I rebooted the
switch, I could cd down to a subdirectory and could get an ls listing of
the files, but I could not get an ls -l listing of the files. Am I correct
that since I could drill down into a directory, that I could read the
inodes and they were OK? If I could read a directory file, why could I not
get info on the files in that directory?
