Aere, First, that's a question I've never encountered before, and I really don't know what you're asking. But Google seems to, and one answer I got was to issue a *df -T* command to get filesystem information.
So, here's the response I get on my *desk top*, with the USB HD (/media/tomc/data) mounted: tomc@LDT:/$ df -T Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on udev devtmpfs 1530592 0 1530592 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 309092 5256 303836 2% /run /dev/sda1 ext4 304448824 165895764 123064908 58% / tmpfs tmpfs 1545448 740 1544708 1% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 5120 4 5116 1% /run/lock tmpfs tmpfs 1545448 0 1545448 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs tmpfs 309092 12 309080 1% /run/user/1000 /home/tomc/.Private ecryptfs 304448824 165895764 123064908 58% /home/tomc /dev/sdb1 ext4 153704484 55642056 90231596 39% /media/tomc/data tomc@LDT:/$ And on my *netbook* (USB HD is not mounted): tomc@LT:~$ df -T Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on udev devtmpfs 497380 0 497380 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 101656 13328 88328 14% /run /dev/mapper/lubuntu--vg-root ext4 152432756 28978632 115687904 21% / tmpfs tmpfs 508276 76 508200 1% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 5120 4 5116 1% /run/lock tmpfs tmpfs 508276 0 508276 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 ext2 240972 72053 156478 32% /boot cgmfs tmpfs 100 0 100 0% /run/cgmanager/fs tmpfs tmpfs 101656 12 101644 1% /run/user/1000 tomc@LT:~$ Something I might mention which could have bearing. For professional reasons, I need to have at least my main personal account directory encrypted. So, I took the encryption option offered when installing Lubuntu (I had been running Kubuntu). But I didn't get the same response for both desktop and netbook. (Recall that with the netbook I am NOT having this filelength copy issue). I neglected to take notes, and cannot reliably recall, but on one of the installs I WAS able to encrypt the whole disk. On the other install, the installer refused to do that and would only let me encrypt /home. Can you tell, looking at the above, which machine has only /home encrypted? I hope this is the information you need. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

The OS installation on the HP netbook is identical to that on the Dell so far as I know. In trying to copy several large directories from a backup USB harddrive, I get a refusal to copy on the Dell due to a number (several hundred) of filenames' being too long. I NEED to complete this directory copy. Can anyone advise me as to how to resolve this problem? Thanks!
