I had previously reported being unable to duplicate the reported freezing
problem with kfm and vfat partitions when a ".directory" file is created.
However, after reading some of the recent messages posted here, I tried
again, this time after unmounting my windows partition and remounting it
using the "conv=auto" option. Sure enough, kfm freezes up bad!
Oddly enough, if you then kill kfm, unmount the partition, and remount it
using sane parameters, it works fine, even if you leave the ".directory"
file with all the extra Ctrl-M characters in it! So it's not the having
of the extra Ctrl-M's in the file that causes kfm to freeze, it's somehow
related to the conversion process itself.
In any case, get the "conv=auto" out of your mount options, and the
problem disappears.
