I made some files "player:nbs.lua" "player:monitor.lua" etc, and they can't be opened with fs.open(). Trying to make a file "player:test.lua" from in-game removes the ":".

EDIT: Why I want to use ":"? Well, MC items are named e.g. "minecraft:stone", so I decided to name my files like that because it's better.

I'm on Linux. Please expose the underlying FS's name rules.

doesn't matter that you're on Linux, ComputerCraft/Minecraft is cross-platform, colons shouldn't be used. Just replace : with _.

Here are some other things that shouldn't be used

Ok... Alternatively check if the file exists as-is on the FS, if so (and you're trying to read it) then use it, otherwise act "normally" (aka brokenly).
