IMO the name must be much shorter than 180. We add [<datastore>] - <uuid>/ to it, where every "[]-" character is escaped as 4 characters by systemd.
For example, if we leave 20 characters for datastore names, such volume is mounted to
/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume/mounts/[12345678901234567890] 31dc869f-aae9-4580-9d63-9461241123b0/<name>
That leaves 109 characters for <name> itself. Would be 90 a better number? That allows users to use datastore names with 39 characters (or less, if they use dashes that are escaped).

+1 on truncating the name a bit more (as we have the uuid) and leave more room to the datastore name

Is GenerateVolumeName only called on Create? Only updating the expected name here can break compatibility with other callers that expect 255 characters still.

Yes it is only called on create and nowhere else. Updated the length to be 90 characters.

Does changing the name here impact things like reconstruction/upgrades?

nope. The volumeName is stored and always retrieved from PV and since we aren't changing name of existing PVs we should be fine.

Reduce length of volume name for vsphere, so as not to make mount paths longer than necessary. This does not guarantee that volume path will be shorter than 180 chars but it will drop the volume prefix if volume name happens to be longer than 180 chars.
