Long File Name Limits

What is the long file name limits when working with these B3's?

In Windows it's the 255 characters, but is this the same for debian??

Thanks!

I think for the Ext3 filesystem there is no limit to the length of the path but the individual file name has a limit of 255 bytes.

254 bytes to be exact

Are there any limits of the folder name itself or simply the filename?

a folder is a file

Do you mean the path? There are no limits on the length of the path.
