SFS: Is this normal?
« on: June 10, 2008, 09:21:03 PM »
I have recently formatted my AMIGA 1200 HDD using SFS and put WB3.1.

A strange thing that I have noticed is that:

I can read and copy to my HDD files/directories with really long names...

BUT

I cannot *CREATE* or *RENAME* filenames/directories with long names - if I do, the file/directory name gets truncated.

Is this normal, or there is a problem somewhere?


 :-o

Thanks in advance for help!

[Note that Magellan only supports long file names if you enable it using a "secret" option.]

Ok, how do I enable this secret option :)
