A very odd situation here.

I have a (freebsd) server serving a tree of photos and information 
files. It's large, and the paths quite long - whether that's relevant I 
don't know.

On two of three machines all running mint at various versions all is 
well; I have problems on the third, which happens to be my desktop box. 
An example good listing would be (sorry about wrap):

mike@troi ~ $ ls 
/nfs/mmedia/pictures/originals-index4/mike/camera2014/20140531b/2014-04-24/2014-04-15_10-21-47.*

That corresponds exactly to what's on the server.


However, on my desktop m/c, the same command complains about a missing 
file, and triplicates all the lines bar the first, which is duplicated, 
and there's an error about not finding a file that has an incorrect name 
anyway:

If I unmount and remount the file system, I get different results - 
always works on the other machines, and fails /differently/ each time on 
mine.


I've also seen this happen in a virtual machine running on my box.

It happens whether I hard mount or use the automounter.


The OS versions are different - I'm running mint 21.2, the VM is at 
21.3; while the others are both rather older versions (and different 
hardware). The machines are all configured the same.


I'm at a loss! Can anyone suggest what's going on here please? I'm sure 
this used to work!

Thanks.
