How can I enable long file names? Updated: 04/02/01
HP-UX 10.00 or later creates HFS filesystems with long file names (up to
255 characters) enabled by default, and all VxFS filesystems support long
file names.
To change pre-10.0 HFS filesystems to support long filenames, run
the /etc/convertfs program (see convertfs(1M)). Note that will NOT be
able to switch back.
Here's how to check if an existing HFS filesystem has long filenames
enabled:
# tunefs -v /dev/rdsk/XXX | grep magic
magic 95014 clean FS_OK time Tue Mar 23 14:13:01 1993
\__ if = 95014 then long filenames
\__ if = 11954 then short filenames
You can also look at this on a per directory basis with the POSIX
command getconf:
$ getconf NAME_MAX directory
where 'directory' is the path to the directory.
