chkdsk fully supports long file names. It even has checks to ensure the long file names are correct. It does not however support FAT32. - Originele e-mail - Van: Rugxulo rugx...@gmail.com Aan: freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Verzonden: Zondag 8 januari 2012 20:21:53 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlijn / Bern / Rome / Stockholm / Wenen Onderwerp: Re: [Freedos-devel] dosfsck, chkdsk, whatever and doslfn41 HI, On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 8:26 AM, Eric Auer e.a...@jpberlin.de wrote: fixing a filesystem is an important thing... does anyone know if any or all of the filesystem repair programs work with doslfn? or does doslfn basically not matter?

I think, as long file name entries are stored as directory entries with label, hidden, system attribute, they are not likely to be damaged by a chkdsk program if the disk logical structure is in good condition. On the other hand, for some defrag program that reorganizes file name sorting in the directory, if that program doesn't support LFN, it is likely to damage the order of the LFN, -- but I'm not sure if the order is important in the LFN entries -- maybe yes?
