I have directory with rwx permission for current user, but he's unable to access it, why?

: sudo ls /usr/data/user-data  -lad
drwx------ 9 andrew andrew 4096 May 17 11:13 /usr/data/user-data

: whoami 
andrew

: ls /usr/data/user-data 
ls: cannot access '/usr/data/user-data': Permission denied

: touch /usr/data/user-data/test
touch: cannot touch '/usr/data/user-data/test': Permission denied

EDIT:

: sudo namei -lx /usr/data/user-data
[sudo] password for andrew: 
f: /usr/data/user-data
Drwxr-xr-x root   root   /
drwxr-xr-x root   root   usr
drwxr--r-- root   root   data
drwx------ andrew andrew user-data

`lsblk |grep user` gives nothing, is that what you mean? – deathangel908 May 17 '19 at 08:32
And permissions may be a problem anywhere up the chain (`/usr/data` as well). Add the output of `namei -lx /usr/data/user-data`, please. – muru May 17 '19 at 08:32
@muru I attached the output – deathangel908 May 17 '19 at 08:34

There you have it. `/usr/data` isn't accessible by anybody except root. No `x` permissions for anybody else. – muru May 17 '19 at 08:34
