NTFS has several file namespaces: DOS, WIN32, POSIX. Linux, as a POSIX OS, always creates files in the POSIX namespace. In such cases the characters in the file name are case sensitive and can be anything except '/' and '\0'. All POSIX application can work perfectly with such files on __Windows__. If explorer can't handle this then please submit a bug report to its developer. > Also, some time ago I was able to create files with > windows-special-characters in the name, for example, I created files with > name "c:", which is valid in Linux, but could not access them in Windows. Same answer as above. The problem is really not on the Linux side. The good news is that Microsoft setup a Linux interoperability laboratory this year http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2007/feb07/02-12RoadmapPR.mspx and hopefully if enough people complain to them then perhaps they will fix these longstanding Windows problems.
