It may be not a problem, but if I remember it correctly, SAMBA should build the
short names the same as NT (at least, I can recall seeing it in cvs.log). I just
happened to notice, that e.g. when you select Properties for the directory
4.0-real
is Explorer context menu, the MS-DOS name is shown by NT as
49A6E~1.0-R
and by SAMBA as
4~%E.0-R
I think, this may really be an issue, as it may prevent transparent moving of
application from NT to SAMBA drive.
this is with 2.0.4b.
