Q: k3b CD Burning & Long Filenames?

[Dave_Bechtel]

--I use a script for burning DVDs; don't forget to chmod +x it, and change where it does the "cd" to the directory you want to backup:

BEGIN bkpcdtemp2DVD+RW

#!/bin/sh
# Backup a directory to dvd+rw
# Enclose description in quotes

#NOTE: THIS METHOD has not been tested WITH DASH-RW MEDIA, ONLY +RW!

#source /usr/local/bin/cdrecord-wrapper.sh

cd /mnt/cdtemp2
# For stuff that's more than 4G
# Copy thisexec
cp -v $0 .

i am so happy to have found Knoppix and that it works for my
my RAID HD failed and refuses to recognize in windows (even on new OS install)
so Knoppix to the rescue.. almost

all the data i want to save is on those RAID drives and knoppix sees it
AND i can burn CD's
BUT it truncates the file names.
all the settings i have tried so far dont give a different result.

what is the sollution to keeping my long file names intact when burning to DVD-r with k3b

thank you
