FAT 8.3 filename bug?

Rabbit
1

I am using the FAT module on an RCM3305 RabbitCore with DC 9.5.

It seems that files in the root may have up to 12 characters in their filename (including the “.”); but files in a subdirectory may only have 9 (sometimes 10).

Using FTP Server, I can create files with names like “f2345678.xml” in the root, but I get an error 22 if I try that in a subdirectory.

In a subdirectory I can create 9 character names like. . .
f2345.678
f23456.78
f234567.8

but not 10 character names like. . .
f23456.789
f234567.89

however I CAN create this 10 character name!
f2345678.9

What gives?

If the title of this “thread” intrigued you enough to read this far, then you’ll probably be interested in these two bits of information. . .

  1. I am disappointed in the lack of a response from anyone at Rabbit.

  2. To fix the problem, I overrode the SSPEC_MAXNAME as follows:

#define SSPEC_MAXNAME 24 // defaults to 20
