I think, this is a bug in itself, see how I discovered it this limit of the system: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359531 I read on the net, that someone had the problem copying UTF characters from NTFS to Ext3, but hopefully this works by now fine. And the recent bug: make a file with name length more than 246 character, and try to trash it with Gnome. You can't because in the trash it gets an additional .trashinfo extension -- not enough space for that. Try trash this: $ touch 1___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________256 (For trashing open the container folder: Places and the first item. You find this file here after the previous command.)
