Subject: Symlink to a long filename "filename too long" error
Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:34:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120910163406.GG5053@merlins.org> (raw)

I got this error from rsync while trying to copy a device with a lot of hardlinks
to a btrfs volume:

Due to some filesystem corruption on my source device, I had a very long file as a symlink
target that btrfs wasn't able to recreate.
Mind you, in this case it's clearly not something I need, but is it
expected/known that ext4 can store longer filenames than btrfs?
