There are a number of characters like path separators that cannot be part of a file name on windows. However I am not sure if this is enforced by the OS APIs or by NTFS itself. It is entirely possible that NTFS could allow something that higher layers don’t.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoYou could break NTFS into accepting this. Fun things happen, for a specific definition of "fun".
- cryptonector 8y agoIf the kernel (and SMB, and...) imposes these constraints, it's fine for the filesystem to not also impose the same constraints on file naming.
