Filename too long

Hi,

I'm trying to tar on Solaris 9 a directory containing very long
filename, so tar exit with the error (filename is greater than 100). Is
there a way to bypass this limit (I can't realy control filename long)?

Regards,


Yannick

IIRC /usr/sfw/bin/gtar will work.

Try star or gtar. If you use gtar, then you'll also probably need to use
gtar to untar. I don't know star so well.

A very common problem with Windows explorer is reported on all Windows help forums. I've

seen people complaining about problem with long path files deletion.

Some common problems with Windows Explorer people talk about:

- Doesn't allow to delete files with long path names
- Pops up error while deleting unwanted files or unnecessary files
- Errors like: Access denied, sharing violation, source in use etc.
