Hi,

Could I confirm that this patch is going to be merged in 20.02?

Sorry, but I can't take this patch in 20.02.
It breaks compilation on FreeBSD.

Sorry. I didn't find it. I'd see it.



I am still unconvinced on the need to change the size to something so
huge to accommodate with this new use case (secondary processes in
containers).
It is not so common actually, but serious issue for some NFV usecases. I remember, in a talk in the last DPDK summit, ZTE was also suffered from the same problem.

Why can't we truncate the container hostname so that it fits in 64 bytes?
It is just a possible maximum length of format of "fbarray_memseg-1048576k-0-0_PID_HOSTNAME", so I think it can be truncated if dropping some information.



Thomas, opinion?

If the use case is justified enough, I would prefer merging such change in
20.11 avoiding an ABI breakage in a core library, even if it is experimental.I 
understand, thanks.
