Hi there -- hope this helps --

The filename character limit on a default HP-UX file system is 14 characters
per SVID -- we do support BSD longfilenames (256 characters) -- you must
run a utility called convertfs(1m) to accomplish this -- this is normally
run on unmounted filesystems using the character device file -- special
care must be taken when doing this on your root filesystem -- consult the
convertfs(1m) man page and the appropriate chapter in your HP-UX System
Administration Tasks Manual for details .............

good luck --
