Hi Christian, Read IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1 Linux Backup-Archive Client Known Problems and Limitations
"Path names longer than 1024 bytes Although Linux system supports files and directories with path plus file name length up to 4096 bytes, the TSM Client currently limits the length of filename and pathname: maximum filename to 256 and maximum pathname to 1023 bytes correspondingly, and an error message is displayed on the console when this length exceeds that limit. This will be fixed in a future release." Note that one byte isnt one characters with unicode... //Henrik -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Christian Svensson Sent: den 17 juli 2009 11:42 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Maximum limit of a filename Hi all, Has anyone any ideas what the maximum limit of characters is per filename that TSM BA Client 5.5.x and 6.1.x can backup in Linux (x86)? I think I heard a number of 1024 characters but that is not enough in my case. :( Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: christian.svens...@cristie.se Skype: cristie.christian.svensson ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
