(2) Spaces
(3) Digits only
The use of the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol from Windows, also known as CIFS or
Samba, lays some restrictions on the use of special characters. These restrictions have
historical reasons, but are still binding today. Server names cannot contain any of the above
mentioned characters. Note that the list of invalid characters is slightly different than that for
other name fields. In addition, server names cannot be constructed from numbers only, they
must contain alpha characters.
Error: invalid resource comment
Resource comment cannot be longer than 256 characters
Resource comments have a limit of 256 characters, a limit which cannot be exceeded. Use a
shorter comment.
Error: invalid directory name
Directory name cannot:
(1) Contain characters: * : " | < > ? / \ ` # $ & ( ) + ; ' .
(2) Begin or end with a space
The internal operating system of GalaxyNASLX2 does not allow certain characters to be used
for directories. The above mentioned characters are invalid, just as trailing or leading spaces.
Choose a different name.
