I have several windows servers that have disk mounts that have no drive

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.
