== Comment: #0 - Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gusld.com> - 2012-09-13 15:12:56 == Grub2 has a limit of 64 bytes for the device path. Some types of devices have path longer than 64 bytes. For example, we have a device with the following path: /io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/pci1014,0339@0/sas/disk@0 In the grub2's rescue console, an 'ls' shows the complete device path, but 'ls -l' throws an error showing a truncated device path. grub rescue> ls (ieee1275//io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/pci1014\,0339@0/sas/disk) (ieee1275//io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/pci1014\,0339@0/sas/disk,msdos3) (ieee1275//io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/pci1014\,0339@0/sas/disk,msdos2) (ieee1275//io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/pci1014\,0339@0/sas/disk,msdos1) (ieee1275//io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/pci1014\,0339@0/sata/disk) (ieee1275//packages/gscsi/disk) grub rescue> ls -l error: disk `ieee1275//io-hub@3efe00000000/pciex@3efe00080000/pci@0/pci@0/pci@6/ pci101,msdos2' not found. grub rescue> == Comment: #1 - Paulo Flabiano Smorigo <pfsmorigo.com> - 2012-09-13 15:18:50 ==
