Sanoid: snapshot names

is it possible to not use " : " character? When its a samba share, the filenames are messed up as " : " is not an allowed character in Windows filenames. Windows explorer would show strange 8 char dirs instead.

@biax the snapshot name can't be changed currently.
I hit the same problem when i moved from zfs-auto-snapshot to sanoid. It can be easily solved with samba itself. You need to have the "vfs_catia" module installed and then add to the global section:

vfs objects = catia
# mapping illegal characters, where enabled with "vfs objects = catia"
mangled names = no
catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6

A smb client then sees the snapshots named like: 'autosnap_2018-09-30_22÷00÷00_monthly'
