Sure, the metadump test is a good idea, but my question is more asking why our broader tests haven't already covered verifying MAXPATHLEN symlinks work correctly or not. Surely symlink correctness is verified *somewhere* (even outside xfstests, e.g. LTP?), and if so why haven't we seen this before now? If not, then I'd suggest we've just uncovered a potential Nest O' Bugs...
