No, the FS limit will kick in much later. However, eselect news may truncate identifiers whose short name is longer than 30 chars, in situations where the identifier is shown to users (e.g. for removed news items). So, it's not a hard limit and nothing will really break, but there's some incentive to keep these names concise. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFDBAEBCAAtFiEEtDnZ1O9xIP68rzDbUYgzUIhBXi4FAmRZYHUPHHVsbUBnZW50 b28ub3JnAAoJEFGIM1CIQV4u9EQIANxXZQ0LKUGXc+ueWM4hvCe86ckmerNprquw UGN1njqgeDwPYjapk922ZEDfuDmZ7enzC6Pk9AvRdBsQ7jImNdyD1Dmm1Kt0cEAH euAj0XWG909zvC1aLOdWbOis1ee9l0jRvpXJl+7I8JsGvCM3J/fkZjbxNimpcspF kFI01f9Otch7oHDpiDLsZdCio9Yq1g51pAQYedBGCjnKxJ2j+Uelp/wYxCJDzQii KtNInllvAFZ+lJhYb/L1w+kIqv2oV975aui/9V3zLtMqnkaiY/wVLmgjvdAGsDdU tXpw1ya3BxtqDT42PH3waxAFe6W67ULd/kFlit7wAOko3RjBtGg= =TzyJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
