Two further points:
1. Are all these filed in a single directory?
2. How new is the ubuntu? You're probably using the open source NTFS-g
emulation, which is itself based on the FUSE filedystem. That ntfs-g
component did have a bug that resulted in the operation unsupported
error. It was fixed in a later version

Agreed spaces are no problem, but your file name is somewhat atypical.
Have you tried with a totally plain vanilla file name?
I cannot create any files ...This works again if I delete some file/
folder.
Sorry to ask the obvious, but are you out of space on the disk (or
anywhere close to being out of space)?
Also, Tim makes a good point about files in folders. Although NTFS
has
no limit on this, on older versions of NTFS, things got very slow if
there
were more than a few thousand files in a folder. That's been fixed in
newer versions, but it's still a good idea not to put lots of files
in the
same folder.
Good luck,
Wayne

For NTFS, the maximum number of files that can be created is 2**32
- 1.
I'd expect that the number for fat32 is similarly large.
Hope this helps,

Dear Wayne,
thank you for responding.
I am writing to an NTFS disk, where I am splitting up a large XML
file into smaller
bits, which are saved as individual files ( and closed immediately
after writing to them).
The process runs smoothly until I get the following last correct
output
49'000'000 # <- number of lines traversed in the XML file so
far (print every 500'000)
<current file title>
1483042 # <- smaller files written to disk so far
and this error:
lbwiki2.rb:114:in `initialize': Operation not supported - /media/
Philips External Hard Disk/en_wiki/Warnock's\ Dilemma
(Errno::EOPNOTSUPP)
from lbwiki2.rb:114:in `new'
from lbwiki2.rb:114
from lbwiki2.rb:85:in `each'
from lbwiki2.rb:85
In this line 114, there's a File.new for the next small file to be
created. The spaces in the file name are no problem.
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit) + ruby-1.8.7-p72.
I cannot create any files on the disk anymore, neither with Ruby
nor on the command line. This works
again if I delete some file/folder.
So there must be some maximum amount of files that this NTFS disk
can handle, which is way below 2**32-1 ...
What can I do here ?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Axel
