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 --- Andreas Bihlmaier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't want to heat up this discussion even > further, BUT > > mount a FAT32 partition somewhere and > "cp /some_folder /mnt/fat" > > There should be files (the more the better) in the > directory (they should NOT be > empty). > > Now use "cmp" or "diff" to compare the directories. > Everything still correct ? > Good because it should be! > > BUT NOW move that directory INSIDE the FAT32 > Partition, something a long the > lines of > "mkdir -p /mnt/fat/foo/bar/foobar/" > "mv /mnt/fat/some_folder/ /mnt/fat/foo/bar/foobar/" > > NOW use diff again.
