Object names and access through the CIFS and NFS protocols

The CIFS and NFS protocols cannot handle object or directory names that are longer than 255 bytes. An object stored through HSwift is inaccessible through CIFS and NFS if:

The object name is longer than 255 bytes and does not include any forward slashes.

The object name includes one or more forward slashes and any part of the name is longer than 255 bytes. In this case, a part of an object name is any character string that either precedes the first forward slash, comes between two forward slashes, or follows the last forward slash.
