The message below, from A, Skwar, appeared last summer. Just in case it
got overlooked during vacation time, can anyone comment? I have an
example as follows:
Every profile contains a foldername "My Recent Documents" which gets
changed during a copy to samba disk to "Recent"!!
Many similar problems. Also: Special Folder Icons on the screen get
changed to generic folder icons. Curious.
RSVP ASAP Thanks.

[Samba] Windows can't create folders/files with long file names

Hello!
Sometimes I've got the problem, that my Windows XP Pro can't create
folders/files with long file names on some shares. However, it's always
possible to read existing folders/files with long file names. After
restarting Windows and reconnecting the share, the problem normally goes
away. At a given point in time, the problem doesn't exist for all users
(IOW: some users can create long file names, some can't).
Right now, the problem appears most often on a HP-UX 11.00 server with
2.2.5 but sometimes it also appears on a Mandrake 9.1 2.2.7a server.
Why is it, that Windows sometimes can't create folders/files with long
file names?
Thanks,
Alexander Skwar
