Storing the extra part of the filename somewhere else (whether it is in an xattr, in the file's header metadata, or in a special per-directory file) is a possibility but there are still downsides to that type of solution. Added code complexity is also a big issue from a maintenance point-of-view. If quality patches were proposed, I'd strongly consider merging them but I do not currently have plans to implement this type of functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344878 Title: file name too long when creating new file (ecryptfs_lookup: lookup_one_len() returned [-36] on lower_dentry) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/344878/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
