Any way to mount to work with MC?

Hi

When I mount a repo I can see the contents of the mount with ls -alh etc but I go in the folder using MC (Midnight Commander) can’t see anything in there. It seems like somehow MC isn’t able to access the content just like ls or find does. Is there a way to make it work on Linux?

Probably a bug (or feature) in mc, perhaps this:


Fast directory reload.
If this option is enabled, Midnight Commander will use a trick to determine if the directory contents have changed. The trick is to reload the directory only if the i-node of the directory has changed; this means that reloads only happen when files are created or deleted. If what changes is the i-node for a file in the directory (file size changes, mode or owner changes, etc) the display is not updated. In these cases, if you have the option on, you have to rescan the directory manually (with C-r). Disabled by default.

FTFY.

Also, a source+link would be handy.
