It certainly is acting as though there is a phantom memory of a file or directory, so I had high hopes that umounting and running fsck would solve the problem. Sadly: jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/media/jjj$ sudo fsck /dev/sdc1 [sudo] password for jjj: fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) Movies: clean, 5360/152621056 files, 264645440/1220942336 blocks After remounting the error message continues. I discovered that if I replace the space with a dot the folder is created without error. I did not change the '½' character, so this should at least demonstrate that it is unlikely that my '½' character is the cause of the problem. And most of the hundreds of folders in that partition have spaces in them, so nothing is adding up here. At some point I must continue with my life, so I'm just going to leave folder with the dot in it and move on. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
