This is outside the scope of the bug-coreutils mailing list; sorry. I personally do not recommend
keeping data that you really care about on any variant of the FAT filesystem; it's too vulnerable to miscellaneous damage.
I know that there are commercial products which fix broken FAT filesystems; some Linux distributions also have the programs "fsck.msdos"
and "fsck.vfat"; perhaps one of those will help you.

Hello-
A directory that I have was strangely changed into a file. Is there a
way to change it back to a directory? I think cvs was doing it. It's
very odd.
The directory was in a fat drive that was mounted in fstab as:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/100gig auto
rw,users,umask=0,gid=504,noexec,suid 1 2
