similar to: Long filenames and 8.3 conversion

I'm seeing something fairly odd where XP clients show some - but not nearly all -filenames as a random jumble of characters. The files are still perfectly accessible; if I tell windows manually what the file type is, they'll open. I don't think it's a character set issue. Affected filenames contain alphanumeric characters (a-zA-z, no accents or anything outside ASCII), periods,

Hi there, We map a Sun Microsystems (Solaris 9) drive to a Windows 2003 server. This works fine except for the long UNIX (tm) filenames that are mapped as truncated 8.3 filenames on the MS server. Needless to say for backup purposes this defeats the object. I have scanned the archives but must be looking in the wrong places because I am unable to find a solution to this problem. Can anyone

Hello all, after endless searching for days you might be able to help. In short: Is there a way to get Samba accept only 8.3 filenames and directory names on a share? The problem: From a windows client a user should be able to save files on a destination (samba share) which aren't longer than the old 8.3 dos convention. This is a requirement for a system behind it, which can only deal

From a windows client it is easy and fast to obtain from a samba share both the long filenames and the short 8.3 names by using DIR /x. Is there a way for a Linux client to obtain this same information swiftly for a large directory listing - or indeed for the samba server to show this information? The only way I have found is using smbclient's altname function but I seem to have to call

Note that R treats tildes in file names differently on Windows and Linux. On Windows, it is only replaced if it it at the beginning of the line and is followed by a forward or backward slash or end-of-line. On Linux it is replaced no matter where it is in the text and ~someUser will be replaced by someUser's home directory (if 'someUser' is a user with a home directory). Hence, if

Hi Frank, I'm hesitant to be "that guy", but in case no one else has brought this up to you, having files with a tilde in their names (generally but especially on a linux system, where ~ in file names has a very important special meaning in some cases, as we know) strikes me as an exceptionally bad practice anyway. In light of that, the solution with the smallest amount of pain for

Hello, I would like to use mapply to avoid using a loop but for some reason, I can't seem to get it to work. I've included copies of my code below. The first set of code uses a loop (and it works fine), and the second set of code attempts to use mapply but I get a "subscript out of bounds" error. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Xj, Yj, and Wj are also lists, and s2,

Speaking of the low answer-to-question ratio, here's a question I posted a week ago but did not get a single answer. Please help me! Before posting, I've searched lots of docs (unsuccessfully), and the problem is critical for me. I have a Win98 machine with Russian file names. As suggested in many places, I put the following into smb.conf: client code page = 866 character set =

Hi, I seem to have some trouble on default lowering the case on 8.3 filenames. I use the following settings but sometimes I still get a 8.3-compliant file with uppercased chars in my unix filesystem. default case = lower case sensitive = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = no mangle case = no mangling method = hash2 Any thoughts? BTW. using HP/UX 11.00

Hi, I've looked through the samba archives, and saw no messages related to this. Is there a way to get smbtar to tar long filenames? When I restore the files, they're all cut down to 8.3 format. smbclient does see the long filenames of an NetBui drive, why doesn't smbtar? Thanks. Gabe

When trying to create a file or folder on a samba share (3.0.28-0.el4.9) from a Windows 2003 R2 server, I occasionally receive an error message stating that the target filesystem does not support long filenames. This happens even if object name follows 8.3 naming conventions. It does not *always* happen. Also, I have another samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9 server where this does not happen at all. What

Hi... I noticed a bug with samba 2.2.8a on my SuSE 9.0 box. I use the UltraEdit text editor to edit my php files in a samba share. By default this text editor places .bak files next to the changed file. What I now noticed was this problem: I edit a file 1234567.php and it generates a file 1234567.php.bak. I can open and edit the 1234567.php normally. I edit a file 123456789.php with the same

Suppose I have a plot plot(1:10, pch = "") And I want some text to indicate a Normal distrubition. I could do this: text(5, 6, substitute(X~~~~N(mu, sigma^2)), adj = 0) text(5.35, 6, "~", adj = 0) But that's clumsy, and depending on your plotting device, might not even look sensible. I'd prefer to be able to do it more directly and simply the way these do: text(5,

Dear R-devs, Below is a small example of what I am trying to achieve, that is trivial in R and I would like to learn how to do in C, for very large matrices: > (mymat <- matrix(c(1,0,0,2,2,1), nrow = 2)) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 0 2 [2,] 0 2 1 And I would like to produce: [1] "a*C" "B*c" Which can be trivially done in R via something like: foo

Hello all, Wine is getting solid enough that it is appropriate for some real work, however it still is failing write with write errors from MS Word. Updates, reads, edits, fonts, etc all seem to be fine. However any write causes a disk full or permissions error. I am running as root root in this case and other programs under wine write w/o error. If it is any clue the file name shows up as
