Hi,

In 2006 Randy Dunlap submitted a patch [^1] to increase the supported hostname length to 255 characters. There was some discussion on the patch, but it appeared to go stale.

Are you open to reconsidering the change?

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this back up.  Very few people read/reply to LKML unless
they are Cc-ed on the email, so I'll add a few Cc's here.
