Is the date caused by the automount the root cause of 8Chars limit?


I can't seemed to change the date even via using touch command. Is
there a way around?

The top level date is indeed controlled by the
automount (actually, in the Sun Ray case it's not
"automountd" it's "utmountd"), and should be
irrelevant since it represents metadata,
not the contents of the volume itself.  That
top-level name you are seeing is the volume label,
and is limited to 8 chars by VFAT (fdisk?)  I
believe.  Partition/volume label names are always
limited to 8 chars, and the charset you can use is
also restricted (I don't think most punctuation is
allowed, for instance).  SRSS has no control over
this.

However, below the volume label (i.e. within the
volume itself) you should be able to create dirs
of whatever name length you like and the dates
within the volume itself ought to be sane.

Hi Brad,

I tried your script but it seemed that every  new file / folder that
was created in the thumbdrive in RDP sessions came out limited to
8chars as well.


thanks,
