If it's 8.3, I don't get what's triggering it. It's not illegal characters or name length. To give a specific example, I have a directory full of files like this: ALBERTS.T111-11111.pdf ALBERTS.T111-11112.pdf ALBERTS.T111-11113.pdf etc Where literally the *only* difference is the digits. Yet some are shortened and others aren't. On a sidenote, the behavior would be tolerable if it wasn't removing the file extension and thus Windows' ability to identify file type. So it's more like just 8 shortening; the .3 part is missing. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
