have such inconsistent and restrictive lengths compared with what's technically permitted by the actual mount/umount system calls.
The vfs_donmount() from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c /* * Be ultra-paranoid about making sure the type and fspath * variables will fit in our mp buffers, including the * terminating NUL. */ if (fstypelen >= MFSNAMELEN - 1 || fspathlen >= MNAMELEN - 1) { error = ENAMETOOLONG; goto bail; } The restriction comes from kernel.
