Hi, guys ... I use cp to backup source systems to an external drive. It works great (and the --update=number function is a key differentiator). However, I noticed that (for NTFS file systems) long directory names (\abc\def\ghi\jkl\mno\pqrstuvwxyz\blahblah\longlonglongdirectorystring) are not supported (they throw "no such file or directory errors"). I assume you're making an assumption on a max static var size (i.e., szDirectory[100]) ... can you either up that allocation or malloc() the memory to the input string? I believe the NTFS fully-cascading filename limit is 32,000 characters.
(actual example): *cp: cannot create regular file `C:\\XDrive\\temp\\delete\\KalishCMirror\\XDrive\\Temp\\delete\\GDGBackups\\Presariokids\\LastBackup\\EBackups\\Devin\\DAS\\Documents\\eclipseWS\\2cov2cor\\.settings\\org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.prefs': No such file or directory* It will copy if I subst the directory name into a virtual drive letter, but that is not a reasonable solution to recusing my entire drive. Thanks! -chris
