+1 on this! I had a user that really LOVED to use descriptive folder names and file names as well as very deep trees. She would about once a year need to have her system in the shop while I would rearrange files and folders so that she could get to the deepest of the folders.

How long is the deepest path? I've seen file copying stuff screw up with monstrously long path names Sent from my Blackberry, which may be an antique but delivers email RELIABLYFrom: "Chinnery, Paul" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:22:29 -0500To: NT System Admin Issues<[email protected]>ReplyTo: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]>Subject: file limitation error I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this question, but here goes: We are storing scanned documents in one folder. A file conversion program being run by one of our vendors is taking scanned documents from a Win2K server and putting them into a Win 2008r2 server. The conversion is just to place them in a folder tree that is accessibly by our hospital EMR system. After placing >1.5 million files in a considerable number of directories, and, the program is now generating an error: Error Making Directory -Requested operation could not be comleted due to a file system limitation." There is no compression of the folder or files (which is one thing that could cause that error). Is this a call to PSS type of problem?
