I've got an unusual situation with my VDR installation that has me completely stumped. My /video0 directory is located on a 1TB ext2 filesystem. When I perform an 'ls-al' I get an incomplete list of the directories located there. If I open that filesystem on a Windows box via Samba, I see that two recent directories have been created that the 'ls' does not show me. The directories are named COO66K~7 mailto:vdr@linuxtv.org(a CSI recording) and N3OZM1~R (an NCIS recording) in Windows. I can drill down into either directory and find the expected filesystem structure and two recordings that we had thought had failed. They are only visible through Windows/Samba. I can copy the contents of the directory to a Windows box and then copy them back to VDR (with a new folder name) and they play normally. As Debian refuses to acknowledge their existence, I cannot rename or delete the directories and I cannot copy data from the subdirectories. I have tried masking the tilde in the filenames, and that didn't change anything as I suspect the filenames are instead REALLY long. I am running vdr 1.7.7 with ATSC tuners and the ATSCepg plugin, and the system regularly creates successful recordings. Anyone with a pointer on how to deal with this and what may be causing such an odd set of circumstances? e2fsck didn't find anything it considered to be bothersome.
Can you check the syslog file to see what names VDR used to create the recording directories?
