hello hackers, I recently ran into a issue with a storage server that has some of the drives in gpt vs mbr, tracked it down to a 64 char limit that is preventing aliases in function make_dev_physpath_alias. I was curious if there was any reason why this couldn't be bumped from 64 to 128 which would make room for the device paths of gpt roughly around 94 and 96 chars long.
