[Linux-NTFS-Dev] creation of faulty filenames possible (bug)

[<my...@gm...>]

This might be a known problem, but it's a really nasty one
so here it goes (again?):

>From Linux it is possible to create files with illegal
characters (such as the pipe | character or the ? question
mark) on NTFS-volumes.
Windows 7 (and probably others) is unable to access a file
named "smoke your | pipe and put a crack in it.mht".
It can't rename/read or delete it; nor can it delete a
folder containing such files (short ~ names don't exist for
those files either).
To my knowledge only a time consuming run of "chkdsk" can
fix it (unless you fix it from Linux, of course).

Conclusion: The NTFS-driver should refuse to create files
with illegal filenames.


Thanks for your marvelous work!
