Hello Gabriel,

With the changes you suggested, I get these errors now :

[  107.409410] EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_lookup:1816: inode #521217: comm
ls: 'CUC' linked to parent dir
ls: cannot access '/media/CI_dir/CUC': Structure needs cleaning

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 12 11:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 12 11:47 ..
-????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? CUC

Do you have any idea about what is wrong ?

Thanks,
Eugen
