VFAT root directory

[oxff]

Hi! I've got problem with simple VFAT driver: as you can see in screenshot, every file in root directory has LFN entry, except file AASS.d. For it there is only old 8+3 entry. AASS.d was created in the same way as other files. So the question is why some files haven't got LFN entry? Thank you

If a filename fulfills the 8.3 convention, with all capital letters, then it does not need a long file name entry too. In your screenshot, AASS.D is the only file which fulfills this requirement, therefore it does not have a long file name entry.

Additionally, Windows (and Linux, depending on how the filesystem is mounted) can make specific parts of 8.3 filenames lowercase without using a LFN. If you created that disk using Windows instead of Linux, only the "Test" folder would have a LFN entry.
