Starting from /home, the path may include up to 4,091 additional characters (that is, Linux supports 4096 characters for the path, with up to 256 characters per file or directory name). This is a limitation of the kernel, and not of the file system. It is technically possible to modify the Linux kernel to support even longer file and path names if a user needed to do so.
