I hope you all got the forwarded email. I did a little more investigation, and it looks that for most of the problematic characters, the NT POSIX subsystem ORs in 0xF000, taking advantage of that private area. Some characters are still invalid using the POSIX subsystem, though: ---8<--- ./mkoddnames[37]: cannot create 034_"_: No such file or directory ./mkoddnames[50]: cannot create 047_/_: No such file or directory ./mkoddnames[63]: cannot create 060_<_: No such file or directory ./mkoddnames[65]: cannot create 062_>_: No such file or directory ./mkoddnames[95]: cannot create 092_\_: No such file or directory --->8--- The translated characters (pasted as a quote to avoid autowrap in my mailer): ---8<--- |> '.\001_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '1':0031 '_':005F '?':F001 '_':005F |> '.\002_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '2':0032 '_':005F '?':F002 '_':005F |> '.\003_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '3':0033 '_':005F '?':F003 '_':005F |> '.\004_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '4':0034 '_':005F '?':F004 '_':005F |> '.\005_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '5':0035 '_':005F '?':F005 '_':005F |> '.\006_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '6':0036 '_':005F '?':F006 '_':005F |> '.\007_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '7':0037 '_':005F '?':F007 '_':005F |> '.\008_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '8':0038 '_':005F '?':F008 '_':005F |> '.\009_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '0':0030 '9':0039 '_':005F '?':F009 '_':005F |> '.\010_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '0':0030 '_':005F '?':F00A '_':005F |> '.\011_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '1':0031 '_':005F '?':F00B '_':005F |> '.\012_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '2':0032 '_':005F '?':F00C '_':005F |> '.\013_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '3':0033 '_':005F '?':F00D '_':005F |> '.\014_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '4':0034 '_':005F '?':F00E '_':005F |> '.\015_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '5':0035 '_':005F '?':F00F '_':005F |> '.\016_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '6':0036 '_':005F '?':F010 '_':005F |> '.\017_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '7':0037 '_':005F '?':F011 '_':005F |> '.\018_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '8':0038 '_':005F '?':F012 '_':005F |> '.\019_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '1':0031 '9':0039 '_':005F '?':F013 '_':005F |> '.\020_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '0':0030 '_':005F '?':F014 '_':005F |> '.\021_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '1':0031 '_':005F '?':F015 '_':005F |> '.\022_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '2':0032 '_':005F '?':F016 '_':005F |> '.\023_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '3':0033 '_':005F '?':F017 '_':005F |> '.\024_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '4':0034 '_':005F '?':F018 '_':005F |> '.\025_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '5':0035 '_':005F '?':F019 '_':005F |> '.\026_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '6':0036 '_':005F '?':F01A '_':005F |> '.\027_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '7':0037 '_':005F '?':F01B '_':005F |> '.\028_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '8':0038 '_':005F '?':F01C '_':005F |> '.\029_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '2':0032 '9':0039 '_':005F '?':F01D '_':005F |> '.\030_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '3':0033 '0':0030 '_':005F '?':F01E '_':005F |> '.\031_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '3':0033 '1':0031 '_':005F '?':F01F '_':005F |> |> '.\042_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '4':0034 '2':0032 '_':005F '?':F02A '_':005F |> |> '.\058_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '5':0035 '8':0038 '_':005F '?':F03A '_':005F |> |> '.\063_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '0':0030 '6':0036 '3':0033 '_':005F '?':F03F '_':005F |> |> '.\124_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '1':0031 '2':0032 '4':0034 '_':005F '?':F07C '_':005F |> |> '.\127_?_': '.':002E '\':005C '1':0031 '2':0032 '7':0037 '_':005F '?':F07F '_':005F --->8--- The private area characters actually usually end up as disembodied diacritics when viewed in Windows Explorer, but that's neither here nor there. Of course, my original patch doesn't address the issue of backward compatibility properly. If this problem is to be fixed, that issue will need careful consideration. Ideally, the FS code shouldn't be in the business of fixing invalid directory entries as it meets them, and handling all the backward compatibility in the driver wouldn't be pleasant. It seems that creating some kind of separate scanning and fixing solution is more desirable, IMHO. -- Barry -- http://barrkel.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
