   Is there an existing issue for this?

   • I have searched the existing issues

   Current behaviour

   Dir path cannot get any shorter but I think its misleading, there are no files even close to 256 char, might be an issue because its on E:\ ? Nothing useful in debug.log. Fix the data for core as well, it’s still showing 2009-2024.

   Expected behaviour

   Expected behavior is that it should continue to write the blocks.

   Steps to reproduce

   Install Bitcoin core 28.1.0.

   Relevant log output
