This limit has been increased to 8*PAGE_SIZE in current 2.6.x kernels.
In 2.4.x you can safely increase the hard-coded limit in dev_alloc_name() but if you have a lot of programs causing the kernel to lookup devices by string name, you may run into some performance problems. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
