What are the OneFS file path reserved characters?
What are the reserved characters which cannot be used in directory or file names in Isilon/OneFS files, if any? I haven't seen this listed specifically in any of the public documentation so far, if I missed it please let me know. Specifically, are the NTFS reserved characters allowed?

Thanks!

Thank you Josh! Unfortunately, I don't have access to that KBA page. (Error: "This article is permission based. Find another article.") Is there a publicly accessible page with this info, or could you please share the character list here? I am trying to support a customer on Isilon and do not have an active license myself.

Thank you, a follow-up question on "blank spaces," does this mean any or all of the following:

All of these don't work. It follows BSD naming rules.

Hi,
Thanks for your question. Possibly, the $ is used for admin shares in Windows, so using that could affect other things using the shares.
Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

we have several DIR that use the $ sign and single spaces. I have come across issues with auto tabbing, but have been able to work around it for now. are there any other services that can be affected by using the $ sign?
