I looked into the kernel source: NAME_MAX is just informative on VFS
level, but every filesystem I looked on has this (or smaller) limit,
PATH_MAX limits length of filename when copied from user data space to
kernel data space. So, sadly, there are limits independent on used
filesystem.
Have a nice day.
