Just a little nit that I feel compelled to pick: The path length limitation is part of Windows, not NTFS. NTFS has a 255-character limit on individual path components, but it allows for much longer paths than that, just like all modern filesystems do. It's the Windows API that sets MAX_PATH to 260.

- orbitingpluto 12y agoFeel free to nitpick. I remember writing to an NTFS parition from Linux. I finally managed to delete the unresponsive directories in Powershell except for one straggler which also had special characters.
