Out of curiosity, I had a look at the vfs_cache.c and saw this:

 * For simplicity (and economy of storage), names longer than
 * a maximum length of NCHNAMLEN are not cached; they occur
 * infrequently in any case, and are almost never of interest.

there is one case where these are possibly common: AUFS

does anyone use freebsd to serve mac users via AUFS, if so, what
is the average file name length ?

(Oh, I assume NCHNAMLEN is a name segment length - the bit between /'s)
