Hi there,
had a nasty bug. Have a Basic install with the latest update. Copied a Folder calles “T7” on a SMB share. Accessed the same share from an adnorid device and renamed the Folder. It went to a strange Name T80IYT~T. However is inaccesible. This means data loss. Not good. Any ideas?
The T80IYT~T name suggests the name contained illegal characters, maybe something snuck in while you renamed it using your Android device. Maybe the Android SMB app did something it wasn’t supposed to.
Either way, rename it from the TrueNAS shell or through an SSH connection instead, not over SMB. It should show up there.
Indeed this fixed it. Thanks a lot. On the shell it showed as the new name “T7\ dlt\ 31.05.2027” so somehow this backslashes got in there..
It sounds like the application didn’t properly escape spaces locally and instead sent the literal escape character over the wire. \ is not a valid character in win32 / ntfs and so the file name would break on Windows clients. Samba enforces compatibility by mangling the name so that the file / dir is minimally accessible by clients (despite the unfortunate name).
Didn’t lose data, guess it’s too late to change the subject. Wasn’t a bug either.
I have changed it
