A system's gotta know its limitations. So do you.

Get It Try It

Time to have some fun.

1. Create a test directory 'a'. Single byte name.
2. Create a subdirectory to 'a' with a very long name. 250 bytes.
3. Create a subdirectory to the above subdirectory using yet another 250 bytes.
4. And another. And another. And another. And another. Until it doesn't work anymore.
5. Put a file in the final directory and by trial and error give it the longest file name you can.
6. Now go back to 'a' and rename it to a 250 byte file name too.
7. Now try to access/remove your file from step 5.

What happens?
