Hi Tischi,

(i) what the maximum length in Windows is?

I googled and found this link: stackoverflow.com/questions/2657 … dows-vista

(ii) what the maximum length in Linux/CentOS is?

Google brought up this link: serverfault.com/questions/9546/f … s-on-linux

From the second link, this page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison … ems#Limits) seems to have more detail on both.

Hope this helps!
