Indeed, it's not possible (I tried with ext3 and tmpfs) to create a file
that long on a Linux side.
So it looks like Windows can have filenames longer than Linux do? How do
we copy long files from Windows then?
It looks like it's impossible, on the Linux side, to create a file or
directory name that is longer than 127 characters (all characters UTF-8).
