I've got my music files (20K+ files) on an ext4 disk. When i named these files, I took full use of ext4 naming possibilities with long names and all kinds of punctuation. Now I need to copy those files to a series of thumb drives to make them portable. Unfortunately, simply copying them does not work because a huge number of files give "file creation" errors due to the illegal FAT filenames. I don't care so much about perfect preservation of the file names. Simply dropping the offending characters and shortening the file names in some arbitrary manner would work. I've googled for a conversion utility, but haven't found one. I'll write a python script if I have to, but this seems like a problem somebody else must have faced (and solved) before me. Anybody know of a good filename conversion script? -- Casey Bralla Chief Nerd in Residence The NerdWorld Organisation ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
