Description Christophe 2004-03-09 11:06:37 UTC

I tried ncpfs-2.2.3 under amd64 (it compiled without error). I can mount the share. But the filenames are in 8.3 format instead of long names. Similar mount on x86 machine show regular long filenames.

Beisde that I succeeded to copy files, so it is partially working.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount an ncpfs share
2. browse to the share
3.

Actual Results:  
Short filename in DOS 8.3 format

Expected Results:  
Long filenames

Did you enable Long filename support?

[*]   Use LONG (OS/2) namespace if available

Just tested it on my system using kernel 2.6.4-r1 and ncpfs-2.2.3. Works fine for me.  Here are the applicable kernel config options that I have enabled:

CONFIG_NCP_FS=m
# CONFIG_NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING is not set
# CONFIG_NCPFS_IOCTL_LOCKING is not set
CONFIG_NCPFS_STRONG=y
CONFIG_NCPFS_NFS_NS=y
CONFIG_NCPFS_OS2_NS=y
CONFIG_NCPFS_SMALLDOS=y
# CONFIG_NCPFS_NLS is not set
# CONFIG_NCPFS_EXTRAS is not set

I've tested this against three different version of Netware with no problems... Closing.

Comment 4 Christophe 2004-04-01 06:46:58 UTC

Yep it works with the OS/2 option. Sorry about that. To my defense, the link between the name/description of that option and what it really does can be unclear.

In my case, a NTFS drive (Windows), shared with NetWare, mounted under Linux, need an OS/2 option, otherwise file names appear in 8.3 (DOS?) format ;)
