Comment 5 Alasdair Kergon 2006-04-19 20:13:41 UTC 
The library was changed to support arbitrary sizes, so this is purely a
dmsetup.c matter.

_parse_file() just needs changing to accept input lines of arbitrary size.
Comment 7 Alasdair Kergon 2006-04-19 20:45:18 UTC 
Changed constant to 4k upstream.

dmsetup from IBM attached to IT on 4-25

from IBM:

Remove the line-size limitation when parsing the input file in dmsetup.

Use getline() instead of fgets() to remove the line-size limitation when
parsing the input file in dmsetup.

A 1317 character table file (dm-stripe of 100 dummy devices) worked with this
patch (and failed without).
