Re: FAT names exceeding spec length
Received, thanks. I'm used to hack on three devices one OpenBSD, one Mac and the tablet so the FAT is useful and always the last resort. However yes ext2 it could be an idea. However get OpenBSD improved is always my favorite option. -- Nowarez Market Dec 5, 2023 19:25:55 Noth : > Have you tried mounting with the -l flag?

Re: FAT names exceeding spec length
Hello, Have you tried mounting with the -l flag? Otherwise I'd recommend using ext2fs instead of FAT32. Android will handle it natively, and OpenBSD can mount that read/write (on a sdXi mountpoint, like FAT32).

People have already explained to you that 8 + 1 + 3 is less than 255. Can you kindly shut the fuck up already?

Well, for the given title, 8.3 yields:
"Tcl_Tk 8.5 P", but I imagine, for this case, that what it might do is
see an eight character filename and a dot, and expect that it will see
an extension after that. Since it's got not only eight characters and
the start of an extension, it's got another dot way down the way that
has a recognizable extension, and in the middle it's got loads of
whitespace. You haven't shown what the 8.3 result of shortening is
(what's the extension? pdf or 5\ P or 5pr or something else?) Does the
eight character name include whitespace? (since there's one at position
seven in the input filename).
You've presented your conclusion, that android can handle filenames
longer than 255 characters, but openbsd can't, and you've given an
example of an input filename, but not of the resultant 8.3
representation, and only one example. Have you, perhaps, misdiagnosed
the problem?

Increasing write size, read size and the read-ahead count on the client has helped me.

NFS Server performance
Using an OBSD 7.4 VM on VMware as an NFS server on HOST02. It is primarily used to store VMWare VM backups from HOST01, so VMWare is the NFS client. I'm seeing transfers of about 1.2 MB/s. SCP from HOST01 to OBSD VM (same filesystem) copies at 110 MB/s. Iperf3 from a VM on HOST01 to OBSD on HOST02 gives me 900+ mbps. OBSD is a stock install running -stable. NFS is using v3 (according to VMWare) and using TCP During the NFS transfer the RECV-Q on the OBSD interface runs either 64000+ or 0. I tried both em and vmx interface types. /etc/rc.conf.local: mountd_flags="" # for normal use: "" nfsd_flags="-tun 4" # Crank the 4 for a busy NFS fileserver ntpd_flags="" # enabled during install portmap_flags=""# for normal use: "" Any clues on where to look to (greatly) improve NFS performance would be appreciated. -Steve S.

Thanks for the reply. Absolutely perceived, I haven't counted them. But I counted the 8.3 format for true: all the info contained in my ebook title was lost (but experimenting it is no problem).

If "255 Unicode characters" is taken to be 255 codepoints, how are they encoded? Digging around a little more shows that they probably mean "255 UCS-2 words". Wonder if OP is actually seeing more than 255 unique "User-perceived characters" or just more than 255 bytes?
