Hi Youzhong,

This topic has been discussed before here:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2010-March/007964.html

In summary, the length limit for a mount points path is 88 characters in
all released versions of FreeBSD.

This has been increased to 1024 in FreeBSD 12-CURRENT, as it was increased
as a part of the 64bit INODE project. Due to the massive amount of changes
by that project, it will not be backports to stable branches for FreeBSD
11.2.

Regards,
Ben
