Random files created

Post by Muddro »

So finally got my NAS up and running with freeNAS and have filebot and utorrent in a VirtualBox running windows 7. Everything works great except there are some weird files that get placed in with the tv shows. The names are RKTWTO~C and things of that nature. 1 byte each. No idea why they are being extracted. But that is when I am looking at the directory through my machine. When looking through the box I see files like : tv show name - s00e00 - episode.mkv:net.filebot.name or net.filebot.metadata.

That's xattr metadata. I guess your FreeNAS does something stupid when FileBot on Windows tries to write NTFS Extended Attributes. You can either fix that or tell filebot not to write xattr via -no-xattr option.
