https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217145 Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@xxxxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |adilger.kernelbugzilla@dilg | |er.ca --- Comment #4 from Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@xxxxxxxxx) --- The problem with "long filename is a description of the video" is that 1-3KiB today may grow to 4KiB or 16KiB in the future, so fixing the filename length to allow 1KiB or 3KiB names (out of a full 4KiB PATH_MAX) is only a short term solution. Changing ext4 or XFS to support 3KiB or 4KiB *filenames* would be a lot of effort for very marginal benefit. I think the right solution is to put the "full description" into a separate xattr on the file (which can be up to 64KiB in modern ext4) and then restrict filenames to 255 bytes. That allows very long descriptions without impacting interoperability. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
