>From your link: "[...] all characters are allowed except '/' and '\0'. This is perfectly legal on Windows, though some application may get confused.".
"Perfectly legal" is stupidly false. Just try to create a file with "?" for example, and Windows ITSELF will deny it, saying that you CAN'T give a file name with characters \/:*?"<>|. When you find a file with these chars, created on Ubuntu, Windows ITSELF can't rename it. In general, it means problems. Actually I'm not aware about what package is "affected", maybe it's not ntfs-3g according to my suggestion that is not about denying but warning, and having a tool to help about it. -- Ubuntu should, in some way, handle Windows rules for file names on a NTFS partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
