ReadyNAS 6.9.4 hidden file issue (leading dot and underscore)
I have an application (Lattice Diamond) which tries to create obscure hidden files like ._tmp_vxd_ or ._Real_._Math_.vhd (leading dot plus underscore) which do not work on V6.9.3 and V6.9.4 via S...
Almost an industry standard. For macOS SMB compatibility, they are loading the vfs fruit - by default, this vfs does veto ._ files adding something like...
fruit:veto_appledouble = no
...might cure. Not deep enough in customizing ReadyNAS SAMBA config, I'm more on the Q side when it comes to NAS. StephenB you might continue here based on this information please.

I tried this on my Win10 PC from a command prompt. The NAS share is mapped to drive letter Z.
Z:\> echo " " >._tmp_vxd
Z:\> echo " " >._Real_._Math_.vhd
both work on my my RN526x running OS 6.9.4.
Thanks for checking, gives me some hope there is a setting somewhere.
If I try that from windows, it produces a "File not found", trying from a MacOSX terminal, I get permission denied (other files create normally).
On the other hand the RN526x has an Intel CPU while my 204 has an ARM, so this may be the same version but a different kernel, right?
Just tried on a retired ReadyNAS Duo running 4.1.16, works as expected.

It works on my RN202 as well. I am using default settings, with no adjustments with SMB Plus.
You could try setting "strict sync" and see if that makes any difference.
ok, so it should be some configuration issue.
I've already fiddled with the SMB (currently at 2.1 with everything else disabled) settings and version (reconnecting the client) and toggled "strict sync", didn't make a difference.
Also tried different shares to no avail.
Weird.
I don't think it worked for me. I'm running Windows 7, and my RN316 is on 6.9.3
