Thanks. That means "git status" is at least reporting the right thing. Now we just need to figure out why, when the strace of commit shows it being written and renamed into place, the index file is missing.

I tried setting up a simple mhddfs mount to reproduce your problem, but everything works fine for me. What version of mhddfs are you using? I'm using version 0.1.28. I wonder if git is somehow triggering an mhddfs bug. Looking through the svn logs for mhddfs, between 0.1.27 and 0.1.28, there is a commit with message "fixed rename bug".
