You mentioned something here I was wondering about just an hour ago..
I noticed that the DB tables for backups and archives specifiy 1024chars for the pathname, and 512chars for the filename. Is this long enough to encompass the maximim path/filename length of all systems that TSM is able to backup?
Hi, Matt -
Now, would the developers not accommodate the maximum path length of all supported client systems? :-)
From what I've seen, the actual length limit for modern file system paths is 1023. The AIX limit is defined on PATH_MAX in /usr/include/sys/limits.h. The Windows limit is confusing, as you would expect in Windows, but seems to be 1023. (See http://www.osronline.com/lists_archive/ntfsd/thread5355.html)
