[Bug 344878] Re: file name to long when creating new file
Just wanted to add my name as someone who's been affected by this bug.
The calendarserver package creates long filenames, and trying to store
these on an eCryptfs filesystem fails with a "File name too long" error.
I am going to look into storing the filenames unencrypted, but if
someone were to store the real filename in the header (as suggested
above), I would certainly see that as a superior solution.

Bug description:
When trying to create a new file with a relatively long filename (f. ex. dfkmqsdgjfmqsldjfmlsqkjlqkdmfsmgjlqlskdqshgpoizehmlqkbgmlqbgmqbdfkmqsdgjfmqsldjfmlsqkjlqkdmfsmgjlqlskdqshgpoizehmlqkbgmlqbgmqbdfkmqsdgjfmqsldjfmlsqkjlqkdmfsmgjlqlskdqshgpoizehmlqkbgmlqbgmqb.txt)
I get an error: file name to long, when in fact the file name is not to long, but the encrypted name created for this file is to long, so, the file was not created.
this is no problem when I try to create a file, but when I'm copying a lot of files to my home folder I get some: filename to long error's and it's hard to fix (first locate the file, create shorter name, move again)
so, maybe you could create a check for to long filenames?
I'm using ext4 here...
