On an ExFAT disk, I have a folder that makes tar fail:

$ ls -a
.       ..      paysages        scenes de rue
$ tar cf /tmp/f.tar .
tar: ./fruits, legumes,..: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

As you can see, ls believes that there are only two subfolders, while tar believes that there is also a folder named fruits, legumes,.. and it chokes on it, presumably because the name contains ...

Question: How can I rename fruits, legumes,.. to something safer like fruits?

What I tried

$ mv fruits\,\ legumes\,.. fruits
mv: rename fruits, legumes,.. to fruits: No such file or directory

By the way, when typing this command I just typed mv fr then pressed TAB and bash auto-completed to mv fruits\,\ legumes\,.. so bash also sees that folder but mv does not see it.

You can rename it by using the inode.

First, get the inode of the file (I have a file named test for this example):

ls -li 
8624175 -rw-r--r--   1 allan  staff     0B Jul 15 12:05 test

You will need the very first number in the line - 8624175

Now, using the find command, rename the file to something else:

find . -inum 8624175 -maxdepth 1 -exec {} mv newname.txt \;
