Yes, Christoph is correct we did implement long file name support long
ago in OS/2.
OS/2 long filenames for FAT were stored as the .LONGFILE extended
attribute. With
extended attribute emulation on vfat a similar approach could be used, although
presumably with different ondisk format for "EA DATA. SF" system file (which
stores extended attributes). If anyone is interested in more detail on this
(probably would be boring to most), we can explain the details.
