Filename question

External Since: Jul 26, 2006 Posts: 3

Hello everyone,

I have a question: do files with filenames of different lengths take
up different space in the file allocation table?

Thank you.

Yes, but not in the FAT. Filenames are stored in directory records, and the
number of records needed to store a file name depends on the length of the
name.
