I have several windows servers that have disk mounts that have no drive letter. The disks show up in Xymon with the volume name displayed, but anything past 7 characters gets truncated and the hobbit page displays duplicate names due the first 7 characters being common across the volumes.
Because of this only one of each of the duplicate (named) disks gets a graph and determining which disk is which is a royal pain.
Is there a limitation in Xymon? Where is the volume name getting truncated? Is there a setting I can change to allow longer names?
The Xymon server doesn't have any limitation (Unix filesystems report the mount point, which is often much longer than 7-8 characters). I would suspect that this happens on the client side - so what client are you using ?
Perhaps the BBWin people can shed some light on this.
What version of BBWin? This has been addressed in version 0.13.

Good to hear, I'll upgrade. I'm on .12.
