Could this be a variation on the old limit on # of files in the root
directory we used to encounter in MS-DOS daze?

Hi all,
I am experiencing problems with the TE2 and SD-cards. When an
application writes too many files into a directory the directory may
get corrupted.
This happens e.g. with many 512MB cards when say 200 files with 1K of
text each are written with VFSFileOpen/-Write/-Close. Suddenly the
directory shows dozens of garbage entries like
ñ7y+õÅ■.N à 271614 KB 27.03.2074 23:45
ÛZ T.Ûý,.Öbj 3776489 KB 07.08.1993 01:48
-4=-<-.l./'< Directory
It seems the VFS layer or the corresponding FS-lib play havoc with
the directory.
Alas I cannot ask the user to format those SD cards out in the field.
I need to gracefully repair them by removing/deleting those
'fragments' or by deleting the directory that was corrupted.
Unfortunatley the VFS/FSLib functions cannot delete those entries
because the file names are invalid. Neither can I delete the corrupt
directory because it is not emtpy.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this garbage without formatting the
entire card?
Thanks
Harry
