I've observed a vfat problem; here's a session transcript:
/c is a vfat mount.

[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c# mkdir temp2
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c# cd temp2
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# ls
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# ls
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# mkdir wow
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# cd wow
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2/wow# mkdir blah
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2/wow# cd ..
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# mv wow/blah .
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# ls
blah wow
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2# cd blah/
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2/blah# ls
ls: .: Not a directory
[1:02am] root@hamishpc:/c/temp2/blah# ls -l
ls: .: Not a directory

when directories are moved, they become inaccessible. If I move it
back, it becomes accessible again. But only to the original directory.
Kernel 2.1.86.

Can anyone verify this?

Please reply directly, I do not follow this list.
