That error is an indicator you're hitting the MAXPATH limit in the Windows lib 
your application was written in.  This is not related to Openfiler and will 
happen when copying to a Windows server just the same (assuming same 
Computer/Share names of the Windows server as is on the Openfiler server).  
You're frustrated with Openfiler ?  I for one am frustrated with Windows and 
it's treatment of long file paths and multiple code page filenames as second 
class citizens.

To resolve your problem, use Robocopy to populate the storage.  Version XP026 
or later.  Do not use XP010 or any older version.  If you have Vista, the 
latest copy is in the system32 dir.

  I have been installing the OF 2.2 for the past 2 weeks (as you have noticed 
from my recurring questions to this list) in a Windows 2003 environment.  At 
various points in the process I have one hurdle or another and required 
assistance before I could move on.  There are still several questions yet to be 
answered, but I have managed to get the "shares" made available to my Windows 
servers.  Unfortunately, now when I try to copy files into the share, I receive 
a "Cannot copy file - The path is too deep" error.

   

  This is becoming frustrating to the point of totally giving up on openfiler.  
I have tried to setup Commercial Support and keep running into a dead end.

   

  At this point in time we are ready to pay someone that can offer EXPERT level 
assistance in getting this online.  We are located in Franklin, WI in case 
anyone is interested in taking up the offer.  A 10 minute phone conversation 
with someone that has been down this road would be greatly appreciated.

   

   

  Thank you,
