| Hi Doug,
|
| Thanks for your continued work on this.

| Has any further progress been made on long pathname support?
Yes, I have. I've folded the support of long path names to use
the existing field unless it needs to be longer. When it needs to
be longer then I malloc space for it. That way in the normal
case it isn't using any more space then before except for an extra
pointer. I haven't done much testing with it. It doesn't
seem to panic with sort or long mount points. I got sucked into
some other work so this has been delayed. I need to generate another
diff with this change for review. It is a relatively minor change
to my prior patch.
Thanks for poking at me. If I don't post something by next week
then ping me again.
Doug A.
