Accessing the directory and the files in it also gives no further errors. Searching back in the log at date -d @1468438194 I found: Jul 13 21:29:54 foo kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-3): dx_probe:740: inode #22288562: comm git: Directory index failed checksum Time to run fsck? Is it the consequence of a previous crash (I had many recently)? Johannes
