We now ran into a silly little naming problem with our vicepX
partitions - named a bit too generously in order to match RAIDs
connected to a FC switch.
I am now faced with having a /vicepja-/vicepjd, ..., /vicepka-/vicepkd
etc... and of course although the file server attaches them bravely,
the vos utilities and the vldb resist.
The proposed changes are straightforward: continue limiting to 255 the
total number of partitions on a file server so that the RPCs and array
declarations don't blow up, but allow partition ids from 0 to 27*26-1.
This goes together with a change in the vlserver where the limitation
to 255 partitions does not seem to serve a constructive purpose anyway.
Changing the code rather than a silly layout convention sounds
drastic, but on the other hand running into a difficult-to-remember
barrier in midst the /vicepiX series is ugly as well, so I consider
this more a clean-up operation.
Anything that I might have overlooked?
