Was renaming a few directories.. basically had this:
arf/
arf/blah___
arf/foo bar dir___
arf/blah blah___
(etc... about 3 more dirs like this)
did
# mmv -r "*__" "#1"
worked ok. then I noticed I missed a _, so I did
# mmv -r "*_" "#1"
which renamed two dirs succesfully then spit out this error:
Feb 26 14:34:15 charon kernel: Filesystem panic (dev 08:05).
Feb 26 14:34:15 charon kernel: FAT error
Feb 26 14:34:15 charon kernel: File system has been set read-only
Feb 26 14:34:15 charon kernel: Directory 164325025: bad FAT
the filesystem in question is a fat32 partition, 7832392 blocks.
I rebooted into win and did a scandisk, which said "part of the ARF folder
is stored in an invalid location". I chose the default solution of
truncating the invalid part, and I don't seem to have lost any data.
I did not try to replicate it, since I don't wish to tempt fate. :)
