Take the 2-minute tour ×  We are implementing an API that makes
use of internal databases. We don't really have any control over
which filesystems this will be implemented on.  My question is,
does any modern filesystem not support multiple "." characters
in a filename? (IE we want to use foo.bar.db.....) We have
already blown through that massive 8 characters allowed by dos
so I am not too worried about the 8.3 rule.  Regards, PablitoRun
share|improve this question One can't prove that there ISN'T
some rare and esoteric thing out there somewhere that somebody
uses and which enforces draconian limitations, but I wouldn't
worry about it! –  Celada Jan 6 '12 at 16:34 I'd not be
concerned of multiple dots. Much more of casing and allowed
characters in file names. Make 100% sure you consistently case
file names and do not rely on any specific casing strategy. –
