Topic: SME Server 7.0 PRE4 - SAMBA filename - 8 character limit

[derekbb]

Help - I have searched the forums but cannot find anything (No seriously I have) SAMBA does not display the filenames correctly on folders/directorys if they are longer than eight characters long - how can I change this. I create the folders via SMB and an XP PC but when browsing the foldernames longer than 8 characters come up with random names. They dont even display as longfile~1  - Am I missing somethin? Should this post be elsewhere? Please advise

To the bug tracker please. We need to work out why this is happening for you. If it were common, we would already know about it.
