Error with VFAT filesystems?

Open brmzkw opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

On Discord on #support-en, Muetdhivers had the following error:

% plakar at @extsave backup ~/
plakar: failed to create snapshot: encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+002E '.'

Other plakar commands also fail (eg. ls).

Setup:

plakar v1.0.4 on OSX
@extsave is using the fs importer, and is a directory on an external hard drive formatted with EXFAT (or at least, that's what mount shows)

I attempted to reproduce the issue without success:

hdiutil create -size 1g -fs EXFAT -volname TestExFAT ./test_exfat.dmg
hdiutil attach ./test_exfat.dmg
plakar at /Volumes/TestExFAT/TéléChargement create -plaintext
plakar at /Volumes/TestExFAT/TéléChargement backup /etc
plakar at /Volumes/TestExFAT/TéléChargement ls

We need to investigate and find a way to reproduce.
