XigmaNAS

Hello,

After several days of weel working, a RAID-Z2 I made 2 weeks ago, started this week-end to cut all filenames I stored on it.

I used the next version (9.2.0.1) and same version of the CD to create the embedded USB Key

This is not the first time I have the problem with differents hardware an versions of NAS4Free, but I want to definitively solve it because I lost a lot of information which were in the filename.

Is there is a way to retrieve the original name of the files and also how to solve this big problem !!!

Thanks

can you give us an example?

and how you copy it.

Hello,

I don't know what's happened but just the time to make my night and all is looking ok now : I do absolutey nothing during this time an the server did absolutely nothing also when I saw the problem, I didn't turn of the computer, didn(t turn of the server ...

So what can I do to prevent this.

I remember all files has'nt more than 31 caracters after the renaming and now they have much more !

I'm afraid to loose datas !

What can I do ?

ZFS do not have 31 caracter limint, only Apple, so please tell us how you copy files ( using ftp, samba, etc, and what is the OS origen), and please more info.

actually is difficult to help you with info provided.

I only see 31 char limitation on MAC :

To copy data I used Finder of MAC OSX 10.6.8 through an AFP service for a part of them, and for another part via an rsync command line in a terminal with the same computer (with the same AFP service)

Thanks

again please give an example of what the filename was before and after

Use SAMBA or NFS instead, and your problem are gone.

and as b0ssman say post an example, and try to determine if the problem is in the AFP part or in the rsync part of the copy.

As I say the problem seem to have disappeared but for example

Before : France 2 - Emission de Television - 04-06-2014 20h00 2h00.m2ts
After : France 2 - Emissi jKb6=c9U.m2ts

I don't remember the caracters I remplaced by jKb6=c9U in the "after" file but all files renamed looked like that

try to determine if the problem is in the AFP part or in the rsync part of the copy.

I don't think it come from rsync because the problem is the same with rsync and with the Finder of Mac OSX : each one use a different destination directory and each destination directory have cut filename in the same format

Use SAMBA or NFS instead, and your problem are gone

Yes but SMB (must use NT1 cause XP) is for Windows and I use MAC OSX (I can't rename files in a result of a research : I must open the file in his directory to rename it ... and each research can take several minute when several seconds are enough in AFP), also NFS is not recognized by Mac OSX 10.6 (only after 10.7)

Thanks

test copying a file via samba and see if you get the same result

I can't try now because the problem seem to have disappeared : all files are now with full titled
