Because this is a design limitation and it is working as expected.
Attempting to use 255 character filenames, while using filename
encryption, will never work with the current design.

The best we can do with the current design is to let applications know
what the maximum filename length is (by calling statfs() and checking
statfs.f_namelen).

Due to how eCryptfs is implemented, a filename encryption design that
would allow 255 character filenames would be difficult to implement and
it would have its own set of design limitations.
