Working around problems caused by usernames with more than eight characters is generally easy, but isn't it time we stop having to abide by limitations created 40 years ago?
I had a file which I had tar'd and gzip'd on a Ubuntu machine which I needed to untar on a Solaris 9 server. Easy enough, done it loads of times. Except this time I got directory checksum error! Some of the paths exceeded 100 characters.
Removing the (relative) root directory brought the paths back under the limit but it is still a real pain in the neck, as now creating the anchoring directory is a manual step in my deployment process. Perhaps there is a neater way around it but my Google-Fu wasn't up to finding it.
