I'm not sure what you mean. The overflow message is printed if and only
if (strlen(value) + 1 > WWID_SIZE), which is correct, AFAICS. The point
of my patch is just to avoid that multipath crashes later due to an
unterminated string caused by this overflow.

Let's have a strncpy vs. strlcpy discussion :D !

I can do this if you insist, but I don't see a big benefit. We've
tested with the patch I submitted.

Thanks,
