Hello, I just upgraded to 3.2.4, and today I observed in one of my share that some of the file where being kind of duplicated with a trailing ":Zone.Identifier:$DATA" at the end of filename. I think this has to do with alternate data streams, but the point is the share runs out of an XFS filesystem which is supposed to support the xattr. Why are these files created, and is there any way to prevent this creation ? Thanks Fran?ois

Francois, For now, just remove the files on the Linux box. One of the versions actually started creating these files when support for the file system was not enabled that needed these files. I'm sure it has been corrected; although can't find the release notes for the fix at the moment. Note: You will have to login to the Linux box and remove the files there. The shares have the files locked so you won't be able to remove them from the shared drive across the network.

I just noticed that they are here and report. How can I make sure that these files will not be created again (some kind of test case that records alternate data streams) ? Is there any possibility to disable this alternate data stream feature ? Fran?ois
