Hello,

Yes.

long pathnames? 
They should - there is article on that.  Windows administrators should
be aware of that
too.  And the last thing - this has been covered on the list before ;)

> If not, is there a patch available for this issue?
As far as I remember when I first heard about the problem it has been
related to
recovery (directed one) when too deep tree structure would be created.
If I remember
correctly discussion here, with Explorer you will fail to create +256
char. path, but
from DOS it will work.

I do also remember that that with v7 people were not able to reproduce
this so you may
wish to upgrade your client software and give it a try.

Cheers,
Hrvoje
