Strange directories

After several cross mounts and umounts I`ve got strange directories in my /mnt

drwxrwxr-x 11 root   users 65536 Jan  1  1970 sdb2
drwxr-xr-x  2 walker root  36864 May 24 23:25 sdc1
d?????????  ? ?      ?         ?            ? sdc5
d?????????  ? ?      ?         ?            ? sdc6
d?????????  ? ?      ?         ?            ? sdc7
d?????????  ? ?      ?         ?            ? sdc8

However I cannot see them or remove them by rmdir or by mc. I even cannot create new ones with the same names.
How to solve this?

Re: Strange directories

I would try something like rm -r /mnt , after unmounting everything.
I would investigate before on the causes before: what fs are you using? have you tried a fsck?

Re: Strange directories

No I didn`t, but after recover from hibernation problem disappeared, so it was just temporary fault.
However thank you. ;-)
