Hello

I'm getting a recursive directory listing from an unraid share in Windows Explorer on Windows 7 64bit Professional

 

I was curious how to fix this

 

in midnight commander it doesn't appear to list the directory recursively but I may be missing it

 

Thanks for your time and help

here is a picture if I click on the arrows it goes down more and more levels

 

Take a look at the Podcasts folder. There is probably a folder name in there that has invalid characters as far as Windows is concerned. You can probably identify it by the timestamp and rename it in mc.

I tried this first

 

find . -name "*[<>\\|?*]*"

 

and it didn't give me any names then I realized ... directories

 

find . -type d -name "*[<>\\|?*]*"

 

still nothing listing

 

 

I tried

 

find . type -d -maxdepth 1 | sort >podcasts.directory.find.txt

 

which gives me podcasts.directory.find.txt

 

I've also attached an ls -l as podcasts.directory.ls.txt

 

I'm using this webpage as the source of possible illegal names

I'm going to print the files and try checking off each directory to see if there is anything missing from one of the listings comparing the windows directory listing to the mc listing to the printouts.

 

 

 

podcasts.directory.find.txt

podcasts.directory.ls.txt

Even though Windows won't display the name, it is showing you the timestamp. Go into mc and sort on timestamp and look for it.

one of the The Amazing Show Starring James Randi (x4) and one of the Weird Things (x3) podcasts were the ones that seem to be the ones that were doing it

 

I understand what you meant now ...

look for the timestamps in Windows Explorer of the blank names

sort the directories in mc by timestamp

and find the matching timestamp / directory

 

Thanks for your help,

Bobby
