I am (once again) experiencing the -36 error saying that some files cannot be read or written, which I suspect must be a side-effect of my recent OSX Mojave update.

Google tells me that error can be fixed by running dot_clean in Terminal and point it at the affected folder/volume. Now, the problem here is that my whole Windows 10 volume is affected by this error, but when trying to point terminal to dot_clean /Volumes/Windows 10/ it throws an error saying that it cant find folder /Volumes/Windows.

The problem here is obviously that dot_clean doesnt support spaces in volume names, hence I am wondering how I can run the command on my windows partition?

Thanks for any help, A2k

OK, turn out that Terminal escapes spaces by using "\ " before a space.

Example: Volume Name: Windows 10 Terminal command: dot_clean /Volumes/Windows\ 10

Hope that helps, A2k
