Well OS X allows you to do so.
I just created two folders with a "/" in the name:
1) on the Mac Os Extended Format partition
2) on the NTFS shared partition
Both work fine on OSX.
That is very, very, very weird... Folders with / in them are prohibited by UNIX and OSX is supposed to be a UNIX -- I can only guess they did this for compatibility with some of Apple's really ancient filesystems where that was valid.
But it is not valid to put / inside NTFS. You really shouldn't do that.
Maybe a disk scan it renamed it to some untypable characters which might be accessible like this:
If that prints the folder name and only the folder name, try this:

Hello,
Is it possible to make a file manager use different "colored folders" when browsing specific directories?
For example, if I open a gnome file manager and browse my windows share at, smb://192.168.1.101/z/ , can I make those folders appear green?
And when I open another instance of... (0 Replies)

I had to stop a pigz (parallel gzip) compression before it completed. Is the original uncompressed file changed/corrupted?
I was under the impression that the original file is not changed during compression, though it is deleted if the compression is successful. (1 Reply)

scrounge-ntfs
scrounge-ntfs(8) BSD System Manager's Manual scrounge-ntfs(8)NAME
scrounge-ntfs -- helps retrieve data from corrupted NTFS partitions
SYNOPSIS
scrounge-ntfs -l disk
scrounge-ntfs -s disk
scrounge-ntfs [-m mftoffset] [-c clustersize] [-o outdir] disk start end
DESCRIPTION
scrounge-ntfs is a utility that can rescue data from corrupted NTFS partitions. It writes the files retrieved to another working file system.
Certain information about the partition needs to be known in advance.
The -l mode is meant to be run in advance of the data corruption, with the output stored away in a file. This allows scrounge-ntfs to recover
data reliably. See the 'NOTES' section below for recover info when this isn't the case.
OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
-c The cluster size (in sectors). When not specified a default of 8 is used.
-l List partition information for a drive. This will only work when the partition table for the given drive is intact.
-m When recovering data this specifies the location of the MFT from the beginning of the partition (in sectors). If not specified
then no directory information can be used, that is, all rescued files will be written to the same directory.
-o Directory to put rescued files in. If not specified then files will be placed in the current directory.
-s Search disk for partition information. (Not implemented yet).
disk The raw device used to access the disk which contains the NTFS partition to rescue files from. eg: '/dev/hdc'
start The beginning of the NTFS partition (in sectors).
end The end of the NTFS partition (in sectors)
NOTES
If you plan on using this program sucessfully you should prepare in advance by storing a copy of the partition information. Use the -l option
to do this. Eventually searching for disk partition information will be implemented, which will solve this problem.
When only one partition exists on a disk or you want to rescue the first partition there are ways to guess at the sector sizes and MFT loca-
tion. See the scrounge-ntfs web page for more info:
