Hi current@, I own a crappy MP3-Stick that requires a FAT16 filesystem. The big problem is that FreeBSD truncates all files created on that filesystem to 8.3 characters. You can imagine that this sucks, if you're trying to copy several MP3s by the same artist to a directory on the disk. The question is thus, why does it do that? I think this used to work just fine in the 5.x line. "What happen?"
