Subject: Re: AFS server device limit
If I am not mistaken, the AFS code only checks that the partition name
begins with /vicep. Therefore, I would suspect that it is possible to
use any partition name that begins with this, such as:
/vicepaa
/vicepab
...
/vicepzz
-Richard Basch
So I figured, hey, let's check that out. A quick remount of a
filesystem, and I've got a /vicepresidentquayle partition to
work with. (Just think "vos create ... -p residentquayle"!)
The file server appeared to start up just fine, but
none of the vos commands would recognize the partition. So I got
a little more conservative with this and tried /vicepaa. Same
story.
Should be straightforward (cough,cough) to change the code to handle
the longer names correctly, but in terms of getting quick results
and avoiding any actual issues, the voters say no on this one.
