Description

When files with a filename greater than 255 characters is being created, it is truncated, but does not throw an exception that other systems throw.

Expectation: File is truncated and created with an exception thrown.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the file creation code in the library fs.js or corresponding C code to find where truncation occurs and ensure an exception is thrown.
