Indeed! Looks like the max file name length on ext2 family and ZFS is 255
chars; unsure whether NFS enforces the same.

oi_archive_name entry will also be cut off at 255 chars, so it'd still be
unusable.

Finally switching the image/oldimage system to a modern space with
content-based hashes as internal IDs and low-level filenames would help with
this by eliminating the need to create and use such filenames based on user
input... can't find a good BZ entry to hit though.

(Bug 1780 has similar issues related to encoding -- it got marked as "fixed"
despite not being fixed, have reopened it. Bug 363 proposes actual file storage
in DB blobs which is unnecessary. Hash-based storage got implemented years ago
for deleted files, but the interface for it for some reason didn't get extended
fully with the Image->File refactoring that happened afterwards.)
