Currently, ogfs requires that the path string of a
symlink can be stuffed in its dinode. This value
ranges between 279 bytes (512 byte blocks and 3863
bytes (4096 byte blocks) which is both too small.

The problem is in ogfs_symlink()
(src/sr/arch_linux/inode_linux.c). If the code to
handle longer links is written, it probably leads to
more resource group deadlocks :-(
