http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=968591 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=968591#c3 --- Comment #3 from Frederic Crozat --- Looking at the history of the file (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/hardlink.git/log/hardlink.c ) I can't really say why it was restricting to 7 characters. It might be for the original source of hardlink.c (which was shipped with kernel) to prevent broken filenames with FAT filesystems.
