I'm managing many hard drives often shared over the network (SMB). Every now-and-then I find folders that somehow have thousands or tens of thousands of hidden files like this:
.dat.nosync40b7.5jNfXw
They are all called .dat.nosync but the "40b7.5jNfXw" seems to be incremental or random.
These files make it impossible to list the contents of a directory sometimes.
And when I just rm -v '.dat.nosync*' I get too many arguments as there are way too many files.
What is making these weird files and why so many of them?
