When MBSE tosses incoming files, is there a setting to stop it
creating a symlink? I was going to look through the code, but I
thought I'd ask here too, in case this route provides a quicker answer
;)
There isn't a setting to prevent the creation of symlinks. MBSE creates symlinks to ensure that every file has both an 8.3 DOS compatible
filename and the "real" full filename.
Howdy,

Why ?
Symlinks take up next to no spaces on ext4 etc.
In any event we must maintain the dos 8.3 standard just on case,
The Pi come on does a rsync then shuts down if needed just as a back up system JIC.
I know - but my filebase areas is a mess.

As I posted earlier, it needs work (IMHO it is broken). I have no
problem supporting DOS in addition to Unix/Linux - in fact I welcome
it. But as I posted previously I think it needs work.
Are these files from other sources i.e., you downloaded them and hatched them etc ?

No, these files have coming in from various uplinks and nets.

Suggest at least for now you ask uplinks to send files conforming to the 8.3 standards.
Have you created a bug report for this ?

No, dont know where to.
I thought posting here was enough :)
