On xenial, I noticed that the Linux cifs client converts : to U+F022 (SFM_COLON) by default even when talking to a Samba with unix extensions. I think this happens in convert_to_sfm_char in linux's fs/cifs/cifs_unicode.c.
You can use the undocumented mount option "nomapposix" to turn off those character conversions, and then access to files with a colon works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676304 Title: Samba fails with files having colon in file name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/676304/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
