Hello, 

 

I'm in the process of reorganizing my data. 

Due to my multi-level + descriptive directory naming conventions, in Windows I often bump up against "this path is too long" type error. 

 

1) Does unraid/linux have the same path length restrictions as Windows? 
2) If I end up moving a directory (and its subdirectories) to a nested folder where the resulting path would be too long, will Krusader notify me of this? 

 

I'm (obviously) trying to avoid lost data in the process. 

 

TIA

Google       max path length in Linux    

 

 

linux 4096 bytes

windows 260 characters unless you do some fancy work to disable that limitation

but bytes != chars

 

So that still doesn't answer the question. 

Inquiring minds also want to know if browsing unraid from a windows based machine will run into issues manipulating files in paths beyond 260 characters. 

And if Krusader is "smart" enough to alert me if files being moved to a longer path will run into issues.
