Hello,

when downloading something from java.sun.com (e.g.=20
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=3D22&PartDetailId=
=3Djdk-1.5.0-doc-oth-JPR&SiteId=3DJSC&TransactionId=3Dnoreg=20
), very long URLs are encountered. When trying to download using "wget",=20
wget tries to open a file with those long filenames, and fails with=20
ENAMETOOLONG (File name too long).

I think that the limit is due to the REISERFS_MAX_NAME macro=20
(http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h?v=3D2.6.10#L1107), =

which currently resolves to "255" (which supposedly means 255 bytes).

Is it safe to change REISERFS_MAX_NAME to something larger, or does this=20
change the disk layout in an unexpected or incompatible way?

Thanks,

Xu=E2n Baldauf.
