Hi all,

I need to know if there is a way of allowing excessively long filenames 
over NFS,  we currently have
HPUX which supports this feature.. our main problem is that some amateur 
created a piece of software
which is now heavily used at my site, which creates computer generated 
files with name in excess of
400 characters.

I have managed to get a file in excess of 400 characters on the local 
system disk of our Linux Slackware 
system only I can't seem to be able to get this to work over NFS.

baring in mind that the NFS mounting is done from Linux to HPUX.

Currently our Network Appliance NAS solution does this, and the HPs do 
this, however Linux would appear
to be having some difficulty.

Any ideas, help or solution to problem welcome.

Darren
