Feel free to add a better summary; I simply don't know which package is the root of this problem. I've been having trouble with davfs2 not being able to show directories. ls returns "not a directory". I can save and retrieve files so long as I know they're already there, but just not list them. I'm positive that the server is set up correctly, though, as davfs2 clients on other computers have no trouble, and I've tried multiple servers, all of which should work. Consider the following session: # ls /mnt/mp3 # mount.davfs http://xxx/projects /mnt/mp3 # ls /mnt/mp3 ls: reading directory /mnt/mp3: Not a directory # echo hello > /mnt/mp3/echotest # cat /mnt/mp3/echotest hello (use web browser to verify that file is actually on server... it is) # rm /mnt/mp3/echotest # cat /mnt/mp3/echotest cat: /mnt/mp3/echotest: No such file or directory The problem seems to be revealed by strace: # strace ls /mnt/mp3/ [...] getdents64(3, 0x805bb74, 1024) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) So getdents64 doesn't see the mountpoint as a directory. This seems to see the root of the problem.

cc'ing davfs2 maintainer, because he's not in net-fs.
I have really no idea here, can you please report this problem upstream, maybe to the davfs mailing list? Please try out the latest cvs, if it fixes the issue ..
It now works for me, no idea why. Same versions of glibc and davfs2
