https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198301 Jan Kara (jack@xxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jack@xxxxxxx --- Comment #1 from Jan Kara (jack@xxxxxxx) --- Yes, this is a design limitation of ext4. In principle, on disk format of a symlink could be extended to allow for larger symlinks but that would require an incompatible on-disk format change and someone determined enough to implement all this in the kernel, e2fsck, libext2fs, etc. Also the motivation for the work is decreased by the fact that commonly deployed filesystems with 4k block size do not exhibit the problem. So I personally don't think fixing this is worth the effort. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
