in the thread "REISERFS_MAX_NAME and ENAMETOOLONG" it is stated, that max.
filename length is not a kernel limit but a libc limit of 255 chars.
right? an in the same thread PATH_MAX is named to be the limit for "max
pathname lenght", which is currently 4096 bytes.

i just wonder why almost all other fs are listed with "255 bytes" for max
filename lenght and "No limit defined" for max. pathname lenght...

i shall update the wikipedia entry if no objections are filed...
Christian.
