Long filenames?

Postby quadomatic on Thu Jul 02, 2009 12:39 am

Is there any way to fix how linux seems to chop down long file names? I've got roms that have very long file names, and this makes them impossible to identify when they're names are cut off.

I had the same issue.

I supposed you have added :
Code: Select all
::sysinit:/bin/mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/fat
to your initrc. This seems to use the 'msdos' driver by default which use 8.3 names.

Modifying the line to :
Code: Select all
::sysinit:/bin/mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/fat
did the trick for me.

Thanks, I'll correct the wiki as well.
