A stakeholder encountered a problem when they created a standard data store for a geotiff where they used a "folder/filepath" for the data store name (i.e., they included "/" characters in the name on a Linux-based system). The system accepted the data store and the user successfully created and used layers based on the data store. But, upon restart, the layers and data stores "disappeared" -- they were no longer accessible nor manifest in the web admin.

Behind the scenes, it appears GeoServer created a folder hierarchy under the workspaces folder based on "folder/filepath" in the data store name. At startup, GeoServer did not load the data store from within this folder hierarchy.

I am assuming the "folder/filepath" is an invalid name. If so, is there a way to preempt invalid data store names?
