I created a folder in nautilus called "R.E.M." on a fat partition. This folder bhaves really strange:
Code:
zozi@eris:/mnt/media/psycho neu$ ls
R.E.M.
zozi@eris:/mnt/media/psycho neu$ ls -l
ls: R.E.M.: No such file or directory
total 0
zozi@eris:/mnt/media/psycho neu$ cd "R.E.M."
bash: cd: R.E.M.: No such file or directory
zozi@eris:/mnt/media/psycho neu$ mv R.E.M. REM
mv: cannot stat `R.E.M.': No such file or directory
How can I access / rename / delete this funny directory?
zozi@eris:/mnt/media/psycho neu$ ls
R.E.M.
zozi@eris:/mnt/media/psycho neu$ ls -l
ls: R.E.M.: No such file or directory
total 0
..the error looks as if I would have asked explicitly for "R.E.M."
It finds the file and then cannot display information about it under the given name.
of course the rm -rf didn't work either.
I even plugged the disk (its an external harddrive) into windows, but it cant handle its own filesystem when it is needed..
