Not all files are being listed in the root folder

[timrbetts]

I have a root for an images directory. This directory has many subdirectories and about 1400 files in its root directory. There are a bunch of files that start with letter a-g, but I don't see any of them. I only see files that start with letter h or later alphabetically.

The root is using LocalFileSystem. The path is to a symbolic link, but that is not an issue since I'm seeing lots of other files within the directory it points to. I have no special excludes, uploadDeny or permissions to ignore those files.

All files have the same permissions and their names have no special characters. Clearly my PHP connector is good because I'm seeing every other files in that directory including subdirectories. It appears to be something related to the root directory only since if I copy those files into a subdirectory, they are all there.

I'm running Chrome 131.

EDIT:

I'm also using PHP 5.3.3 if that makes a difference. I can't use any higher version than that due to server limitations.

Is there a way I can debug this to see why files starting with a-g are being ignored?
