Two things come to mind: first of all bug #6750 (see
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6750)
- while the ticket already contains a solution, you could rework it as
suggested, and check the other file systems as well. The BFS file system
source can be find below src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs/.
The other thing would be a bug that's probably not yet tracked: when
you're in a Terminal, create a test file, and then use "chmod
<myusername> <testfile>", and afterwards a "ls -l" you'll see that
strange numbers appear instead of the actual name. That is a bug that's
worth looking into it :-)
HTH,
Bye,
Axel.
