The DUALNAMES patch breaks the >operation on my Fujifilm Finepix A210 digital camera. Adding to that, I've just run it against every possible USB device I could dig up in my room (i.e. one more for now). It also breaks with the Tekmax T-1000/TMP-1000 (nicknamed "ioneit"/"i-one-it"/"i-want-it") digital audio player. Its built-in directory browser does display the copied file (see below), but does not want to play it nor enqueue it into the playlist. Again, a simple copy operation was performed — this time for both 8.3 and long names, i.e.: $ cp working.mp3 TEST0000.mp3 $ cp working.mp3 TEST12345678.mp3 None of the dualnames=n-created files were accepted. (Combinations that worked: 2.6.29.5-w/o-dualnames-patch, and 2.6.31-rc1+dualnames=y) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
