From: Garrett Cooper <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Garrett Cooper <[email protected]> Subject: Re: kern/161481: mount fails with ENAMETOOLONG with path shorter than 255 // 1023 characters Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:57:44 -0700 (PDT) I looked into this more closely after I submitted the bug and the problem is the arbitrarily short value attached to MNAMELEN: 122537 mckusick #define MNAMELEN 88 /* size of on/from name bufs */ The value has changed over the years (all the way back to the mid-90s) from 90 to 70 to 80 to 88, but each time the author doesn't clearly state why the change was required. Testing out a kernel with the newly imposed limits to determine if the new limit is functional and/or there's a major performance regression with the new limit.
