EvylRat Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Unraid 6.8.3 - Decided to tidy my movie library by replacing spaces with periods, because it was a mix of both. That's when I discover that I cannot have a name Con. or con. anything. eg. Con.Air.(1997) Is there a workaround for this? Tried using Windows - throws a permission error. Tried from unraid console - throws a permission error. Con_air is fine Con air is fine Con-air is fine Con.air is a no no Edited June 2, 2020 by EvylRat Clarification Quote
trurl Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Can you elaborate on this a bit? I have no problems creating or renaming files with Con. or con. anything on Unraid. What are you using to do the renaming? Quote
earthworm Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 I can confirm this issue, however, I can rename it using MC. I can't rename it from Windows and when I browse the folder in Windows it shows a completely different name for the file. I did find this: https://serverfault.com/questions/242110/which-common-charecters-are-illegal-in-unix-and-windows-filesystems 1 Quote
EvylRat Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) SOLVED: Thank you both for the fast response. @trurl any share, from windows try creating a folder or file starting with Con.something.something.darkside. It reports "The Specified Device Name is Invalid" @earthworm Never noticed that this issue has been in Windows all this time. Just tried it on Windows 10, you cannot create a file con.anything. Thanks for sharing the link. Edited June 3, 2020 by EvylRat Solved Quote
