Buffalo TeraStation 7000 Manuel D'utilisation page 22

• If the names of shared folders accessed via AFP and FTP connections contain multibyte characters, configure
the client language in [Management (Gestion)] - [Name/Time/Language (Nom/Heure/Langue)] to match the
characters. If the setting does not match, the shared folder name will not be displayed correctly.
• The following characters are handled differently by Mac OS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when
sharing data between Mac OS and Windows:
• Windows does not support some characters that Mac OS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename
on a Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With
OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the
following characters:
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : " , | *
• Do not use any of the following words as the name of a shared folder. These words are reserved for internal
use by the TeraStation: info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-
daapd, usbdisk# (where # is a number, for example: usbdisk1)
• Don't use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:
• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.
• Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.
• If shared folders are accessed from a Mac, information files for the Mac may be generated automatically. Do
not delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Mac.
• If an SMB connection is used with OS X 10.3.9, the names of mounted volumes may appear as unreadable
characters in Finder and other applications. This is not a problem with the filename or data.
• With OS X 10.5 to 10.5.6, Spotlight searches are not supported over AFP connections. Use SMB connections or
upgrade to OS X 10.5.7 or later.
• The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShare; the zone cannot be specified.
• When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such
as date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.
• During a file transfer, if settings are changed, the file transfer operation may be aborted.
• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system. If the Ethernet cable is disconnected
or a power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:
- Preset data such as the TeraStation name, users, and groups may be erased.
- An incomplete file may be copied and the file can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the
TeraStation, delete the file, and perform the copy operation again.
