any hack like this would mean that for long file names which are close NAME_MAX
this will not work. Yes, such long file names are being used. Apart from the
fact that the meta data is detached from the file, which also makes this
workaround quite sub-optimal. Still the only real solution I see would be
bigger EA sizes. I was hoping that this would be not a big challenge for the
Linux kernel.
