Hi,

Thanks for spending time on this..

I am expecting output as below:


/tmp/filesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

and that length must exceed till PATHMAX=1023..

Thanks,
Mansa

You are confusing PATH_MAX with max filename length, which is filesystem dependent. If you want to see what is the max file length possible on a particular filesystem, you can use:
Code:
perl -e '$fn="files" . ("s" x shift(@ARGV)); mkdir($fn) || die "Cannot create: $fn";' 200

Increase 200 until it fails. That will be the filename that's too long.
