file copy problem: filename too long

Hi Tom,

ecryptfs indicates 'encrypted home' and

/dev/mapper/lubuntu--vg-root indicates LVM partitions which are used
with 'encrypted disk'.

You can get more details about the partitions and file systems from the
following command (make the terminal window wide enough for the long
lines in the output).

sudo lsblk -fm

Good luck
Nio
