Nio,
Thanks. I'm learning a lot with this inquiry. Here's the output I get with
the command you suggest:
tomc at LDT:/$ sudo lsblk -fm
[sudo] password for tomc:
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID
MOUNTPOINT NAME SIZE OWNER GROUP MODE
sda
sda 298.1G root disk brw-rw----

tomc at LDT:/$
If I read this right, it's telling me that sda (my desktop hard drive) is
an encrypted drive, rather than containing merely an encrypted /home.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Beyond that, I don't know how to use this to make progress on my file copy
problem. I have some other responses to my query, and I'm going to check
them out now.
Thanks again,
Tom

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

Aere,
First, that's a question I've never encountered before, and I really
don't know what you're asking. But Google seems to, and one answer I got
was to issue a *df -T* command to get filesystem information.
So, here's the response I get on my *desk top*, with the USB HD
(/media/tomc/data) mounted:
tomc at LDT:/$ df -T
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev devtmpfs 1530592 0 1530592 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 309092 5256 303836 2% /run

And on my *netbook* (USB HD is not mounted):
tomc at LT:~$ df -T

Something I might mention which could have bearing. For professional
reasons, I need to have at least my main personal account directory
encrypted. So, I took the encryption option offered when installing
Lubuntu (I had been running Kubuntu). But I didn't get the same response
for both desktop and netbook. (Recall that with the netbook I am NOT
having this filelength copy issue).
I neglected to take notes, and cannot reliably recall, but on one of the
installs I WAS able to encrypt the whole disk. On the other install, the
installer refused to do that and would only let me encrypt /home. Can
you tell, looking at the above, which machine has only /home encrypted?
I hope this is the information you need. Thanks for your help. Much
appreciated.

What type of file-system was originally copied to the USB hard-drive,
and what type of file-system are you copying it to?

I'm baffled by a problem which I'm having on my Lubuntu install
[15.04] on my Dell Inspiron which is NOT occurring on my HP Mini 110
netbook. The OS installation on the HP netbook is identical to that
on the Dell so far as I know.
In trying to copy several large directories from a backup USB
harddrive, I get a refusal to copy on the Dell due to a number
(several hundred) of filenames' being too long.
I NEED to complete this directory copy. Can anyone advise me as to
how to resolve this problem?
Thanks!
Tom
