They wants to have name of VM built from UUID string. I check that isn't impossible for creation and found that 32 bytes are created without problem. I offer to them to remove dashes from UUID. Then they will have 32 chars name. Ok ... tools can handle it, but kernel cannot start it. Then I found that if the name is 31 chars all is ok. This is brake point which drive me to start chasing of this issue. I found where are made checks for length of VM name and variable which contains the name of VM. Decision was based on several considerations - I like all my variables to be rounded of machine word. - We should not grow up to much, because I predict that many users already have something like monitoring software which drawing something in tables. This is something like explanation ... :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
