This seems hard to search for so I apologize if this is answered somewhere else.
I’m guessing there is something special about ‘.bin’ folders. I was trying to copy some stuff to my MyCloud and was getting errors. I tracked it down to a portable app that had (dot)bin folders that could not be created. I tried creating the folder. I could make a new folder, but couldn’t name it ‘.bin’
Is there a way to fix that or get around it? Or is that a can’t be done thing?
So, I just bought a new WD NAS and I have the same issue. And I’m already pissed right now…
The issue is caused by /etc/samba/smb.conf containing the line
You can edit that file via SSH (if you enable SSH) and also apply it by restarting smb via executing smb restart, but the changes will be overwritten whenever I restart the NAS or change any Samba related configuration in the Webinterface.
