SO, this is happening: I have a network share that I access via AFP and SMB (lately, I'm trying to stop using AFP because... apple)
The thing is that, months ago, when I installed the freenas box, I copied a lot of files form the old setup to this disk via afp from the finder. If you browse this share via AFP, you see all the names perfectly, even when I connect via ssh to pull the files for backup, I see the filenames as they should be... however, when I access via smb, some of those files and folders have a name of 8 characters like "ABCDEF~4" OR "FEDCBA~9". Any idea what could be the cause of this?
Thanks!
Bonus question: For use from 2 or 3 mac machines at the same time of a directory.... cifs/smb or nfs? Which one could be faster/more reliable?
