While I don't have a ready-made check at hand, I think you should decide for yourself whether you want to support LFN only or SFN also, as defined in 'info Autoconf "File System Conventions"'. This node also describes several limitations that you could use to test and may need to cater to. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
