Comment 1 for bug 359531

Hi, you're right that ext3 has a limited filename size at 255 bytes - it depends on what character encoding you use how many characters that implies, but at most 255. In your example with only underscores and numbers I think you should be able to fit 255. It works for me.

LVM is not a file system, but rather a modern partitioning model. Inside a logical volume, you would still set up a file system, like ext3. So... my first guess is that perhaps the installer selected something other than ext3 for the file system in your LVM test.

Could you check what file system is in use? One quick way to do this is to look at the output of "df -T" (see the man page for details).
