I found a quite strange effect with cifs (plan9 bell labs edition). I use cifs to mount werc installations from p9p linux servers. Cifs is needed here, as the virtual hosted machine does not support nfs. Maybe I should switch to another userspace filesystem, but for now its cifs. Any node

also note, you can still access these magic filenames in windows thru a unc path. like \\somemachine\someshare\path\to\magic\file\aux or when mapped as a dos drive: \\?\X:\path\to\magic\file\aux -- cinap

cifs is Windows, i think. If this is the case, then you may run into the issue of implicit filenames. Search «aux tale», or browse heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx_aux_c.html. as entertaining as this is, is isn't true for dos. there are no device files on dos in *any* directory. they are

not sure why FAT32 would be relevant here, since he's using a linux cifs server from an ext fs. samba mangles reserved names much as it mangles long filenames -- check mangle_hash2.c for examples. when samba is deciding if a filename needs to be mangled, it checks for reserved
