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?

Btrfs can store symlink targets up to it's inline limit, 3917. xfs has
this limit hardcoded as 1024. ext4 has fast and non-fast symlink
storage, based on the target length, so it's able to store the maximum
PATH_MAX size into a full block for the non-fast case.

Thanks for explaining. For normal use, 3917 seems more than adequate :)
