I understand that it is a frustrating technical limitation, especially for an end user. The filename length restriction affects each user differently. I know many people that have never hit the limit in everyday use but I do appreciate the large number of people that are affected by the limit. I hope that someone comes up with a great idea and submits a patch that I can commit upstream. Until then, eCryptfs will have this filename length limitation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344878 Title: file name too long when creating new file (ecryptfs_lookup: lookup_one_len() returned [-36] on lower_dentry) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/344878/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
