[zfs-discuss] Special charaters dissallowed in MS Windows

[John Ryan]

Hi,

I posted this on cifs-discuss, but got no reply.




These are blocked by the Windows client, Windows server and Samba server.

The result is, that they can only be accessed from a Mac.

I'm running snv_122


zfs set sharesmb=name=john,catia=true dataPool/john



Is there a way to stop their creation?

Regards
John

I've just added the CIFs function to some of our ZFS filesystems, so they are now shared via NFS and CIFS We've got a lot of Mac users, who can quite happily create files and directories with names containing characters not allowed in Windows, such as \/:*?"| However, a Mac user can create a file/dir on our solaris CIFS shares containing these characters. Is there anyway to block these characters on a ZFS filesystem on openSolaris? I did find a partial workaround, by setting catia=true in the sharesmb command like: However, this still allows the creation of these characters, just converts them to something Windows can read.
