We can set the maximum supported length almost arbitrarily high,
although we use the image name in a path component. Linux limits
such file names to 255 bytes normally.
As Josh said, the limit is higher than what you mention. Do
you have any thoughts on what constitutes a reasonable limit?
Are you using some sort of naming convention that produces
your 36+ byte image names?
Thanks.
