I can confirm this behaviour.  But, I can still mount
and use the partition.  I'm using 3.7.

What I get is:

1) say /mnt/ms/ directory contains 1, 2, 3 directories
with a bunch of stuff in them.

2) cd /mnt/ms/; mkdir 4; mv * 4

3) cd 4

4) ls and 1, 2, 3 gets listed.

But, if I cd into any of these directories I get:
ls: .: No such file or directory

Still able to mount it and everything.  And the
filesystem still tells me the space is used.  Just
can't see any of it.

I was waiting till I was able to form a proper report
(ie upgrade to 3.8 at least) on this, but since we're
talking about it already thought I'd add in my
"report."


best regards,
Reid Nichol
