I had something really strange happen on my msdosfs
disk, but I have since fixed it by deleting the
offending directory. Maybe someone can identify this.
I didn't see anything in the problem database.
First, output of uname -a:
NetBSD speedy 1.5.3_RC1 NetBSD 1.5.3_RC1 (SPEEDY6) #0:
Fri Mar 22 15:06:54 MST 2002
andy@speedy:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SPEEDY6
i386
/bigdisk is a msdosfs partition on a 60 gig IBM IDE
disk.
Here's what happened (this may not be in order, I had
to cut out some other stuff i was doing so I may have
missed a step, but the errors are the telling part):
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal # cd
system_of_a_down/
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# mkdir bonus_live
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# cd bonus_live/
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/bonus_live
# cd ..
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# mkdir first
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# mv *.mp3 first
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# ls
bonus_live first toxicity
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# mv bonus_live/ first/
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down
# cd first/
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first
# cd bonus_live/
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first/bonus_live
# mv /home/andy/music/rip/system/System_of_a_Down/* .
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first/bonus_live
# cd ../../../..
../../../..: Not a directory.
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first/bonus_live
# cd ../..
../..: Not a directory.
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first/bonus_live
# cd ../../../..
../../../..: Not a directory.
Then later:
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first
# cd bonus_live/
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first/bonus_live
# ls
01_Sugar.mp3 02_War.mp3
03_Suite-Pee.mp3 04_Know.mp3
speedy:/bigdisk/andywebs/music/metal/system_of_a_down/first/bonus_live
# cd ..
/usr/src
speedy:/usr/src #
Huh? How could it possibly be that I get sent to
/usr/src? Very strange...
Like I said, I deleted the directory free from first/
and recreated it, and it works now. Weird.
