Section 4 Troubleshooting Guide
The use of the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol from Windows, also known as CIFS or Samba,
lays some restrictions on the use of special characters. These restrictions have historical reasons, but
are still binding today. Server names cannot contain any of the above mentioned characters. Note that
the list of invalid characters is slightly different than that for other name fields. In addition, server names
cannot be constructed from numbers only, they must contain alpha characters.
Error: invalid resource comment
Resource comment cannot be longer than 256 characters
Resource comments have a limit of 256 characters, a limit which cannot be exceeded. Use a shorter
comment.
Error: invalid directory name
Directory name cannot:
(1) Contain characters: * : " | < > ? / \ ` # $ & ( ) + ; ' .
(2) Begin or end with a space
The internal operating system of Galaxy NAS LX5 does not allow certain characters to be used for
directories. The above mentioned characters are invalid, just as trailing or leading spaces. Choose a
different name.
