I made tar file having file names more character( up to 50).
When i extract file in Linux it extracts fine.. but in HPUX all file name which are more than 24 are trimed to 24 characters.
i m using "tar -xvf xx.tar"

try this-

touch abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz on the filesystem you want to create the files.

I seem to remember that hpux filesystems can be gen'd with a maximum disc size.

I am trying to take tar out of the equation. See if you can even create a filename with a length > 25

yes

Hi awk,

Yes i m able to create file has name more than 24 char.
i tried to rename file they renamed easily with long file name.

When i extract tar the file names it shows are correct but i m wondering why not store as full name. I m seeing there one more file with extracted folder Named @LongLink content of file is one line and it is a long file name which is one of the file which is exact 24 character.
