Embedded Linux filename length???

109 100+
Hi..

i am running arm-linux on a board. However i realise that the file name in the usb drive is only limited to 8 characters long. If the character is longer, a "~1" will be added to it. Any idea how to make the file name longer?

Thanks...

The maximum length of a file name depends on the file system, I think. What's the FS on your USB device?

Hi... what do u mean by FS of the usb device?

It seems like its the embedded OS thing.. cos when i plug the time drive in other computer it shows the full name of the file.

By my quick assessment, you are either using a FAT16 file system on your USB drive, or you are reading the information put there on an operating system that does not support long filenames.

Could you please elaborate on the OSs you are using, as well as the format of the USB drive?
