via SMB certain folders show DOS 8 character names, other look normal

[b0m541]

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?

The folders with the problem all had a trailing space character in the name. Remove it and it shows normal again via SMB.

 

I guess this is a bug in the SMB server.

It's not a bug.  Windows doesn't allow spaces at the end of the name.
