[PATCH] xfsdump: fix bug restricting -f pathname length

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A temporary buffer storing the dump filename (-f) is smaller than
the otherwise allowed pathname length. This buffer is used to
extract the pathname from additional parameters specified as part
of the -f argument. As these parameters are an undocumented and
unused extension of the -f argument, simply remove this code.
Note that drive_alloc() always dups the given pathname, so
'optarg' is passed directly.
