I am rsync'ing long filenames from HFS+ Journaled to ext4 and most of them give me this error:

rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat (...) : File name too long (36)

Filenames use non-Latin characters and more often than not tend to use the whole of HFS+'s filename length allowance.

What are my options in this case?
