appears not to return a significant amount of pertinent results. Essentially, my question has to do with something I thought I have seen along the lines of "some distributions disable [reiserfs]'s support for long file names. My question then would be, does porteus do this as well.
For example, [trying to] download a certain youtube video fails, apparently because the file name is too long, even though it works in more mainstream distros, even on reiser [which I thought had long filename supprt]. At the same time, I am using mate ([because] pluma [from before I found out it has anything to do with the fruits that get worms]), so it is possible that this is the cause. [I am loath to test other deskop managers because they hang my antiquated system {celeron}]
I think creating a directory with a long name [even on reiser] fails as well.
I thought reiser had unlimited length filename support?mkdir: cannot create directory ‘aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa’: File name too long
To rephrase, is it possible to take advantage of reisers long filename support on porteus? clearly Im missing something
thanks
PS maybe just a link to any earlier fix would do, or a pointer to how to find it
PPS Im happy to send you the link to the particular youtube video in question, if necessary
