Hi It seems that the constant is in /usr/sys/sys/mount.h. The limit is already there since the initial import in 1995. (From 4.4BSD?) I want to know what is the root cause preventing a larger value. PS: I have found some interesting links about MNAMELEN: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2003-08/msg00194.html http://www.secnetix.de/~olli/FreeBSD/mnamelen.hawk >From Compaq(HP) Tru64 UNIX 5.1 man pages, it seems that Tru64 UNIX also have a restriction of 90 chars.(They also based on BSD?) http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/MAN/MAN2/0114____.HTM _________________________________________________________ 必殺技、飲歌、小星星... 浪漫鈴聲 情心連繫 http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=22281/*http://ringtone.yahoo.com.hk/
