File name completion in Solaris 8 (SPARC)

I am running Solaris 8 on an old SPARC-20 using the C shell. File name completion will not work for root or any other users. I have verified that all are setup with the C shell by using echo $SHELL. Other C shell features (aliases, command history, etc..) work. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you set filec=on ?

File name completion

I am running Korn Shell on Solaris (on SUN Ultra 60) and have a problem with file name completion.
Prior to Korn I ran C-shell and after set filec=on the filename completion worked ok.
Although my understanding is that Korn shell have this feaure built in I also tried export filec=on but it did not help. I am using Esc-Esc to attempt the file name completion. By the way Esc-= works and I get a list of options. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Hello
I am using Solaris 8 ultra-80, found this discussion and into the same problem, before this i used to work on HPUX 11.0/11i never had problem on "filec" as i believe this is "by default" set in ksh.
But on solaris i am finding it difficult to use "file completion" ( i mean filec: using ksh -o vi).
Could some one suggest!!, how do i go about!!.
I don't want to use ksh -o emacs, as i am happy using "ksh -o vi".
-Thanks

LONG FILE NAME SUPPORT IN SOLARIS 10 INTEL BASED

Hi,
I am facing the problem in solaris in which, i found that whenever I am copying any file directly from windows based PC to solaris the file name become automataically squizzes to 8+3 [dos file support]. In this case I am facing the problem in which I have to again rename file as actual then only it works properly.
i.e the actual file name "abcdefghij.iope" is converted to "abcdefg_.iop"
Can you confirm is there any setting to avoid this in solaris.

You're seeing a limitation of Windows and your CD writing software within Windows, not of Solaris.
The answer is in that other website's forum thread.

Allow to have the file name with extension in contacts thumbnails

When I print a contact sheet from the Print module, I would like to have the option to have under each thumbnail the file name complete with the extension; e.g. "Sample.jpg". Right now I can only have the file name, e.g. "Sample".

I think you are talking about unzipping or extracting the contents
of the Zip file. Use the API in 'java.util.zip'
For code refer to

There you would find the code!!
Good luck!!

UFS filesystem limit on solaris 10 - sparc

Hi All,
I have one question in regards with soalris UFS file system on Sun Solaris 10 Sparc.
currently i have one mount point with 1.5 TB of space with UFS filesystem connected to EMC SAN, now i am going to add one metalun of 1 more TB and exapnd it on SAN.
In regards with this i have some concerns:
1) Will UFS support 2.5 TB on a single slice?
2) Simply growfs command will work or do we need to perform additional steps?
Steps :
--> bkp data and umount the filesystem
--> run devfsadm
--> use growfs command
--> mount partition again
Any suggestions in this regards are really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Need help.
Thanks in advance.FWIW, that's an EFI label. Above a certain size, "standard" Solaris disk labels don't work, so EFI labels are required. Is that the same as the VTOC that was available before you enlarged the LUN. IIRC that limit might be 2 TB.
Since you refer to slice 2, I am assuming here the old label may not have been an EFI label. Also, EFI labels do not support overlapping slices, so the old Solaris convention of slice 2 being the entire disk no longer applies.

I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Problems copying iTunes folder to an external hard drive - "The operation can't be completed because the item FILE NAME is in use"

Hi,
I have been trying to back up my iTunes folder from my MacBook hard drive over to a new LaCie external hard drive. However, whenever I try to do it at some point during the copying I keep getting the warning "The operation can’t be completed because the item FILE NAME is in use". Each time I have tried it, it is always a different file name that comes up and at different points of the copying. Following the warning, the copying stops and cannot be restarted.
I tried copying the iTunes folder to another Lacie external hard drive that I have, and it worked fine so I am guessing that it maybe something wrong with the hard drive.
I've been trying various approaches all day and can't seem to get anywhere with it - all very frustrating, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

If you don't have other backup data on it, reformatting external drive could solve the problem.

How can I open a pdf document after downloading is complete and there is no screen reference to file name?

I'm having a problem trying to locate a downloaded PDF file. I'm using Windows 7, and have Adobe Reader XI installed. From a given site some downloads will appear with a listing of individual pages within the document, or there will be a window appearing that has a series of icons to print or scroll, etc. At other times, from the same source & type of document, I will get a representatrion of doanload progress, then a "DONE" when completed. There is no notification anywhere on my screen as to file name or where to look for this download. I even go into "Documents", downloads, recent places, etc. to try and find a listing, to no avail. I also open Adobe Reader to see if there is any clue, again, to no avail. Incidentally, when Adobe Reader opens, there isn't any provision for scrolling, yet there appears to be additional information below the bottom edge of my screen. I sure would appreciate some help on this problem.

On my Windows 7, with any browser, all downloaded files go into the Downloads folder.
If you can't find your downloaded PDF docs, try a search for *.pdf

The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "FILE NAME" can't be read or writen. (Error code -36)

I have a RAID that my Mac says is damaged. It does mount, so I want to copy as much of the data as I can. I tried SuperDuper!, but it crashed (or gave me error and stopped). I tried copying and pasting entire drive (1.75TB) but it stopped with this error, and same error happens with some of the files when I try to copy and paste (Drag and Drop) them individually.
I get this error: The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "FILE NAME" can't be read or writen. (Error code -36)

Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...

If Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

Might try the free trial of my favorite, Tri-Backup, it does a better copy/clone job in that it usually doesn't quit copying at every error, & has a nice log afterwards to try certain files agin if you wish....

File Name error when creating file in Solaris C locale

Background Info:
1.In Java, we can use new File(filename) to create a new file. The filename there is a string denoting the name of the new file.
2.As mentioned in bug4409965, "The 'C' locale in a 7-bit ASCII locale, the 8bit characters enteredn are not read in properly probably because in that locale, the input byte stream is expected to contain only 7bit characters, anything else is 'garbage'".
My problem is:
when I tried to construct a filename containing non-ASCII characters in the Solaris C locale, Java works quite different from C language.
To be specify, follwing c code works quite well in C locale:
char * temstring = "\0xd6\0xd0";
FILE* fd = fopen(temstring, "w+");
fprint(fd, "test");
fclose(fd);
Although the created file can't be viewed in C locale, the filename shows quite well in other suppoted locale , which means the filename doesn't get modified.
While in Java, the following code
File f = new File("\0xd6\0xd0");
fos.println("test");
try {
f.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e)
System.err.println(e.toString());
will generate the file in C locale as ???? as garbage file name. Even in the proper locale, the filename can't be read correctly.
I doubt the JVM in Solaris (file unixfilesystem.c) has modified the input filename and made the filename unreadable.
I just wonder if there is some workaround to solve this problem, which means I can correctly generate the filename using Java just as what the C code has done: create the file just as what I denote instead of modifing the filename.
Thanks

Hello:
Any luck with this problem?
I am facing the same problem and was wondering if you had found a solution....

Displaying complete file names on the desktop

I think there was a way to get the finder to display the complete file names on the desktop. Some terminal command. Can anybody help?

I have files on the Desktop that don't have that issue. But when I add characters to them I eventually reach the breaking point -- 37 characters is fine; 38 characters causes the file name to truncate. I suppose there may be a way to set a secret pref to show a larger number of characters using Terminal.
Anyone know how many characters the OS file system is limited to -- ignoring display issues, I mean?

Oracle Solaris Zip files names

Hi,
I am going to install oracle on solaris.I downloaded 9i sotware from oracle site and wrote it in cd's. The zip file name is 92010Sol_Disk1.cpio.gz.
When I insert the cd the zip file name is showing differenlty like 920_0001.gz.
My question is why its showing different file name?
THanks.

Sounds like the program changed the long name to an 8.3 file format.
This is an 'old' article, but it may pertain to what happened:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/win9x/lfn_4ugj.asp
To quote the propaganda:
If the long file name does not follow the standard 8.3 format, the system automatically generates an alias, using the following scheme to ensure that the alias has a unique name. The system tries to create a name by using the first 6 characters of the long file name followed by a numeric tail. A numeric tail consists of the tilde (~) character followed by a number. The system starts with the number 1 in the numeric tail. If that file name already exists, it uses the number 2. It continues in this fashion until a unique name is found. If the long file name has a file name extension, the system will use the first three characters of the long file name's extension as the extension for the alias.
As the number of digits in the numeric tail grows, fewer characters in the long file name are used for the 8 characters in the alias. For example, the alias for Long File Name.File would be LONGF~10.FIL if the names LONGFI~1.FIL through LONGFI~9.FIL already existed in the directory. Applications can override the default alias numbering scheme when creating a file by specifying the OPEN_FLAGS_ALIAS_HINT value and supplying a number to use in the call to Create or Open File (Interrupt 21h Function 716Ch).
A period is just another character in a long file name. Leading periods are allowed in a long file name, but trailing periods are stripped. A file can have multiple periods as part of its name. For example, MyFile.081293.Document is a valid file name, and its alias will be MYFILE~1.DOC. The first three characters after the last period in the file name are used as the file name extension for the alias, as long as the last period is not a leading period. A file name of .login is also valid, and its alias is LOGIN~1.
So it [the software creating the cd] could have changed 92010Sol_Disk1.cpio.gz into 920_0001.gz.
