UFS filesystems allow label/volume names containing alphanumeric characters only. There is a need for at least one separator character. This request and patches were submitted to freebsd-fs@ and freebsd- current@ but no one on those lists seems to be willing to commit this innocuous patch. I've been using a patched system for well over a year on a number of systems. Fix: One of the following patches, to allow acceptable POSIX filename characters as part of UFS labels. The first manually tests against the acceptable characters, which should be faster. This second patch is using strspn(3) as suggested by des@ in case the first patch is not acceptable. It is slower but we are likely going to do I/O anyway. I don't care which patch you choose, just please someone commit the damn thing! =) Patch attached with submission follows: How-To-Repeat: /sbin/newfs -L volume-name ... -or- /sbin/tunefs -L volume-name ...
