Hi Rui,

You didn't mention the version of the the windows client. However,
there _was_ a 260 character limit on path length for windows clients
before version 2.0 .

If possible, the best route would be to upgrade director, storage-daemon
and all clients. The path limit is now 64kB !

I think that you can use windows client v2.0 with director and
storage-daemon v1.38 but I'm not certain. You could try searching the
list archives to see if Kern or another developer made a definitive
statement about that.

Hope this helps.

You can use v2.0 Windows Clients with v1.38 Servers. In general we always
try to make sure clients and servers within 1 major release of each other
work. This allows staged upgrades. The only thing you need to do is make
sure you don't use any new features.

However it is best to upgrade the down rev machines as soon as possible so
you can take advantage of new features and to simplify management.
