I recently noticed that as I was moving files into a crypted file system, the
files were "disappearing". I say "disappearing" because they don't appear in
a directory listing. However, they do exist. Ie, if I happen to remember the
name, I can open and view the file, even though it's not appearing the in the
directory listing. Looking into the problem futher, I find that the raw disk
has 2187 (4293 including dot) files in the directory, but the clear text
directory only shows a 121 files. Obviously, something is a little weird
here.

Unfortuneately, I can't use cname to try and list the files since I'm using
the latest version of the file structure.

Has anyone else encountered such a problem? Is there someway to get my files
to show up again in plain text?

BTW, I'm using cfs under a OPENSTEP 4.2 (BSD 4.3 filesystem) port of the
daemon.

Thanks for any input,

Alex Raftis
