Length of Logical Volume name?

[MCP-DOC]

I'm curious what the maximum length of a logical volume name is? Is it 255 or endless? I'm running hp-ux 11.11.

I believe the max char length for commandline is 256 (without the \)

In either case, a max number of lvols is 255, so is there really an issue?

Later,

Max length *could* be 256 - but that is also the max length of a command line - so it would be unusable. And who'd want to type an LV name that long anyway?

Cheers,
Jeff

I'd keep it short otherwise bdf spans 2 lines and makes it harder to read.

[Frank Slootweg]

It would not be 'endless', because it is also a filename, which is limited to 255 characters.

Why do you ask?
