long mount paths

[Admin]

I have been fiddling with the jetroff distribution and decided, due to a lack
of disk space to put the fonts by themselves on a floppy and mount it thus:

$ mount /dev/dsk/f0q15dt ~det/src/jetroff/font/devjet/pk

But, then note the following output from df:
$ df
/         (/dev/dsk/0s1    ):     5484 blocks     2002 i-nodes
/usr      (/dev/dsk/0s3    ):    12458 blocks     5662 i-nodes
/usr/users (/dev/dsk/0s4    ):     5076 blocks     1000 i-nodes
/usr/ubin (/dev/dsk/0s8    ):     3970 blocks       73 i-nodes
/usr/spool/uucp (/dev/dsk/0s5    ):     5064 blocks     1365 i-nodes
/usr/spool/news (/dev/dsk/1s3    ):    18160 blocks    12523 i-nodes
/usr/users/det/src/jetroff/font/ (/dev/dsk/f0q15dt):     5076 blocks*    1000 i-nodes

The number of inodes and blocks is incorrect (in addition to the mount point
being truncated, but thats not a big beef).
I suspect that df is getting lost after a certain number of chars in the path
and just printing garbage.  (ooohhh, that smell! (:-))

$ labelit /dev/dsk/f0q15dt
Current fsname: pk, Current volname: 01M_T7, Blocks: 2400, Inodes: 240
FS Units: 1Kb, Date last modified: Fri Sep 23 08:36:57 1988

Then after i had done a:

$ du pk
1561	/usr/tmp/fonts/font/devjet/pk
$ find pk -print|cpio -padmv ~det/src/jetroff/font/devjet/pk

it ran out disk space on the floppy (the floppy was empty, thus had ~2400
blocks on it) and then the device became inaccessable and the directory itself
dissappeared!

Anyone seen this problem or have a fix for it?

Ps. Normally i would have just sent this to uport, but my mail seems to be
    mysteriously dissappearing.. (:-(

PPs.  Please, unless there is a *real* reason why i shouldn't mount a device on
      such a long path name (like its stated somewhere in the documentation
      that one shouldn't exceed X chars in the path name, etc), don't flame me
      for using a path name like the above.  I don't think its terribly
      unreasonable.
