SYMPTOMS
When using the Services for UNIX Client for NFS component to create a file or folder name that contains a colon on an NFS file share, you may receive an error message. For example, if you attempt to create a folder named 7:5, you may receive an error message similar to the following example:
CAUSE
When only one character precedes a colon in a file or folder name, Windows NT interprets the file or folder name as a drive letter.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do not use file or folder names that have only one character preceding a colon.
