August 16, 20214 yr I have a number of folders, all belonging to a series of music CDs, which show the correct folder name on the server, but on the SMB clients they show with the DOS 8 character folder names. I guess there must some mapping that works locally but not across SMB. It can be probably fixed by renaming? Any explanations whats happening?
