The rules for filenames and their conversion follow the guidelines found in doscmd(C). Filenames that exceed the limit for a DOS filename will be truncated when you copy them to a DOS partition. For example, if you attempt to create a file named rumpelstiltskin within the DOS filesystem, it is truncated to rumpelst.
You can use wildcard characters just as you use them with UNIX filesystems.
When accessed from the UNIX partition, the modification, access, and inode change times of DOS files are always identical and use GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time. (This is because UNIX systems use GMT internally and convert it for you.) This means that files created in the DOS filesystem will not have consistent times across the operating systems.
You cannot use the backup(ADM) utility to make backups of a mounted DOS filesystem. However, DOS utilities and other copy programs like tar(C) work as expected.
