severity 608428 important user debian-bsd@lists.debian.org usertag 608428 + kfreebsd --
So, this looks like a bug in the mount/umount utilities and/or the kfreebsd mount/nmount/umount system calls. Possible explanation: there's an 80 char buffer being used which causes the truncation. The syscall manual pages tell us that there's a 1023 character restriction with 255 chars per path component. We're nowhere near that documented limit, so there's a serious bug somewhere. I'm not a freebsd user or developer. I've identified the cause of the problem, and it's not in schroot. This really needs the attention of some freebsd people who can fix the length restrictions, I've realistically done all I am able.
Many thanks for this.
I've reassigned this to freebsd-utils, which is the most likely place for the bug to be. I've also put the severity to serious, since this is a fundamental and dangerous flaw in a key system component which can and is causing breakage. It would be good if this could be fixed for squeeze.
There is a system limit in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/mount.h #define MNAMELEN 88 /* size of on/from name bufs */ We cannot do much with this limit :-( Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
