February 21, 20224 yr Hi there, I recently moved from a Synology NAS to Unraid. I moved my 15 TB of data using an external drive, by simply copying it. Everything worked fine, but now there's a strange issue. For example: I had multiple subfolders on my SynologyNAS called "Schnitt/RM" It contained a lot of data. Now on my Mac the folder is showing up, but does not contain any data. When I access the share/folder on Unraid using DoubleCommander the folder has all files in it. However, the folder name is not "Schnitt/RM" but looks like that: When I rename the folder by hand to "Schnitt:RM" the folder shows up on my Mac containing all the data... As expected... So it's definitely some formatting UTF8 or whatever problem.... Is there any way or script how I could repair this issue? Renaming everything by hand will take a lot of time because I got like hundreds of the same structured folders.... Thanks for you all help!
