Hello Andreas, some filesystems do support that. From the ext2 specification ( http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2intro.html ): "As a response to these problems, two new filesytems were released in Alpha version in January 1993: the Xia filesystem and the Second Extended File System. The Xia filesystem was heavily based on the Minix filesystem kernel code and only added a few improvements over this filesystem. Basically, it provided long file names, support for bigger partitions and support for the three timestamps." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Regards -- Johannes Findeisen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
