Kernel handling of path length

Hello, My test case is testing the following: attempt to insert a watch on a path with strlen() = 4095. My test case is expecting this to pass ... but here is what I get: DEBUG PRINT: Expected path length = 4095: Actual is 4095 (Not counting terminating null) Starting auditd: [ OK ] Error sending watch insert request (File name too long) Error sending watch to kernel Fail - auditctl command returns 255 FAIL : Path length =PATH_MAX(without null) generated error I thought the kernel should allow a watch to be inserted ... Is the above a correct behavior? - Loulwa
