'zfs snapshot' interfering with make_dev() 63 character limit
Hello, doing 'zfs snapshot' allows me a snapname length longer than make_dev_p() accepts (63 past /dev/). This leads to the situation that I can create a snashot of a zvol, but afterwards it's not accessable because there's no dev available: g_dev_taste: make_dev_p() failed (gp->name=zvol/?@test63limit, error=63) Is it desirable to allow longer dev names or limit snapshot names for zfs volumes? I haven't looked what zfs limits are, but I frequently have zfs names longer than 63 characters? Bad choosen? Or do others too have the need for longer dev names?
