MvL Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi, If I go to Tower --> Disk1 --> files I see a lot of files starting with ._filname.extention. What is the function of these files? Edit: I use version 6 beta 8 Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I do not see any such files on my system, so I do not think it is unRAID itself that is putting them there. You will need to work out what app/system is creating them to identify what they are used for. Link to comment
MvL Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Okay.., thanks for the info. I'll deleted the files beginning with ._ rm ._* So I'm curious if they appear again. Link to comment
gfjardim Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 They are metadata files created by Apple's OSX. The most common ones are: .DS_Store, ._DS_Store, ._filename.ext. Link to comment
MvL Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 ah, okey. Thanks. I did knew that .DS_Store and ._Store where metadata files but not ._filename.extention. I find these metadata files a bit annoying.. Link to comment

I find these metadata files a bit annoying.. If you want, there's a way to avoid it's creation. Just add: [global] veto files = /._*/.DS_Store/.Trashes/.TemporaryItems/ delete veto files = yes to /boot/config/smb-extra.conf file. Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I believe that it is possible to tell OSX to not create these files on network shares. It might be worth googling this to find out? Link to comment
MvL Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you! Good information guys! I will checkout both options. Link to comment
