Hello,   Have you tried mounting with the -l flag? Otherwise I'd recommend using ext2fs instead of FAT32. Android will handle it natively, and OpenBSD can mount that read/write (on a sdXi mountpoint, like FAT32). Cheers, Noth On 05/12/2023 16:46, Nowarez Market wrote: :-) so what is techi

I limit myself to report the problem of my system. And the problem of OpenBSD in this case is the easie to let me lose the info contained in the filenames coming from Android. Then the fix doesn't depend on my attitude. == Nowarez Market Dec 4, 2023 11:59:23 Michael Hekeler : >>> To be honest

Clearly the problem is that from the user prospective in these kind of events all the information contained in the longer file names are lost. A file copy from Android is always completely transparent to the user, anyhow. Android open behavior "doesn't help" copping with these long names: if I
