filesystems - Files that begin with w disappears from file explorer in nemo cinammon


In the directory "Downloads" (NTFS partition), if a file is created and it's name starts with w, it will disappear after refresh.


I don't know if this happens in any other directory, but I haven't found any.


I cannot see the file even in terminal. But I can open it, and delete it.


Any ideas?


Details:


System: Linux Mint Cinnamon 17, x64.
Partition: NTFS
File Explorer: Nemo


Answer



The reason is that there were non-obvious errors with the NTFS partition. Probably something to do with Windows not closing the FS properly.


After formatting that partition to ext3, there seems to be no more problem.


chkdsk from windows didn't fix the errors. Nor did ntfsfix from linux.
