Hi,

Not sure if this should be zfs-discuss or cifs-discuss, but it's a CIFS related problem.

We have several Mac users who like to use strange characters, like ><?&$# in file/folder names. The behavior from a native Windows server or an EMC NAS, is to disallow using these characters. However, on Solaris CIFS, they are allowed. I tried the utf8only option to zfs create, but it doesn't stop a Mac creating these files. From a Mac, I created a folder "<?" and this is how it looks:

r...@bs-ssvr07:/data/utf8test# ls -l
total 43

r...@bs-ssvr07:/data/utf8test# zfs get utf8only data/utf8test
NAME               PROPERTY  VALUE     SOURCE
data/utf8test  utf8only  on        -

The folders are usable from a Mac or Windows (even though the names look different on Windows), but not easily from Unix/Linux.
Is there any way to prohibit a Mac doing this?

Thanks again for a great product
John Ryan
