Dec 12, 2014Node name: What's the maximum length allowed?

- Prior to v11.0.0: folder path names could be up to 1023 characters in length.
- Since v11.0.0: folder path names are limited to 255 characters in length
If you try to create a node name in v11.0.0 or higher with length that exceeds the maximum length, you will see an error like this:
0107141f:3: Failed to create the (Node). The maximum allowable length of 255 for a full path has been exceeded. The object path name was
One thing to note is the "folder path name" includes the /Common/ part of the name, so /Common/Node1 would be considered 13 characters instead of 5. So you'd have to take into account the partition name length as well.
