Strange Folder Names...
We have a ReadyNAS516 with six 4TB drives in RAID six. The OS is version 6.5.1. I have a USB dock attached to the right rear USB port. I have 5 SSD's, one for each week day that I switch out on the U...
How is the USB drive formatted?
The SSD's are formatted as NTFS. The folder name PHBUY4~T looks sort of like the old 8.3 file names, but I would expect a name more like Project~s, not something random.
It clearly looks like a mangled name though. But it is odd that you are seeing it.
You are seeing these names with the USB drive connected to a windows system? Or is it connected to the NAS?
Via the NAS. I'm not sure why that would make a difference since as I stated, I have another backup that creates the destination folder just fine.
Oops, my mistake. The folder name "Projects" appears correct when viewing from the NAS interface. When I use windows file explorer to view the SSD while it's still attached to the NAS is when it shows up as "PHBUY4~T". Good catch. I wonder why all other folders show up named properly except for this one.
