7.1 Can I have filenames longer than 14 chars?

Yes, change to long filenames using /etc/convertfs. You can't go back, though.
Here's how to check if an existing filesystem has long filenames enabled:

# tunefs -v /dev/rdsk/XXX | grep magic
magic   95014   clean   FS_OK   time    Tue Mar 23 14:13:01 1993
           \__ if = 95014 then long filenames
            \__ if = 11954 then short filenames

You can also look at this on a per directory basis with the POSIX
command getconf:

$ getconf NAME_MAX directory
