FAT_C, Thank you for your bug report. We have received one other report where a user reported files being renamed in a similar way. They reported that it only affected file name with a space " " in them.
And today I received a similar report. I'm sorry, but to give us a meaningful answer, and because Ubuntu will fix any files before you can show a report, you'll need to do some extra work. Can you please: * Boot into Ubuntu * run: sudo chmod -x /sbin/dosfsck * Boot into DOS/Windows * Create a file with an illegal character like you show * Boot into Ubuntu * run: sudo chmod +x /sbin/dosfsck * run: dosfsck -v -n <partition> Then attach the output of the last command to this bug report. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None => dosfstools Assignee: (unassigned) => Onno Benschop -- file auto rename -> FSCK0000.REN https://launchpad.net/bugs/65808 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
