Hopefully this is a quick and stupid question. I have Mac clients on the network who have data in deep folder structures with long filename paths, well in excess of the Windows 256(255) character limit, and they need to copy their data across onto a Windows 2008 R2 Server, which obviously fails when the length of the filename goes over this limit.
If I install Open AFS on this Windows server, will this allow the clients to successfully copy the data to a share on an NTFS formatted volume on the Windows box? Also, if version 1.7 is implemented as a native Windows file system, would I need to format a disk or partition on the Windows box as an AFS volume for the Mac users to be able to copy their long filename structures without issue, and would this data be able to be browsed locally on the Windows server following copying it across? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
