 +====== WHS and a Macintosh ======
  
 +I was making a copy some WHS server folders so that I could take a small section of the filesystem with me on holiday (for reference).  However half way through the copy I got an error dialog informing me that the copy could not access the source disk.  WTF?
 +
 +Investing I found that some of the files and directories has been created on the WHS server using Samba from a Macintosh.  These had **trailing spaces in their file names**.  Win32 will not allow this via the UI however samba subverts this API.

 +
 +The solution was to SMB mount this filesystem onto any old Linux box, or the original Mac, and rename the directories and files appropriately.
 +
 +<code bash>
 +mkdir /cheese
 +smbmount //cheese/Users /cheese
