I recently started ripping my CD collection to flac and I'm storing
these on an old Terastation NAS device. Using dbPoweramp most filenames
come from the AMG database and are rather long (and to make things
worse, the parent directories are rather long too).

When trying to rename some of these files or edit tags (on the NAS),
I've encountered file access error messages in some cases. But I was
still able to copy these files e.g. back to my PC. When I then
shortened a parent directory for such a troubled file, I gained full
access again (meaning, I was now able to rename it again etc.).

So, this is a restriction with file name/directory depth (on the NAS or
network-related). Older Terastations had a 120 character restriction
(according to some FAQ I read), but I have installed the latest
firmware and most of my directories/files are certainly longer than 120
characters (according to the same FAQ, the XFS file system limit is 256
for file names and 4096 for overall directory depths - which I
certainly do not exceed).

To make sure all my files can be accessed correctly (the ones I found
happened more by accident and I don't want to check all of them
manually), I'd need some tool, that can either count the character
depths of all my files or that tests, if they are all correctly
accessible. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks - p.
