I get this when doing an ls .? .= I could still write to the disk just fine but was worried so I did an fsck on it. It ended up fixing things and created a lost+found directory on the disk. My problem is, I have a hard time putting much faith in this drive now out of fear that something must have been wrong from the get go and is now in some sort of "hanging by a thread" mode and will eventual fail on me. In my utter ignorance to disk issues I'd like some information from anyone with a clue as to what the .? .= meant, so I can either trust this thing or do something differnt. Comments??
