Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2007:0579 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE gfs2-utils bug fix update 2007-11-08 14:13:05 UTC

Description Abhijith Das 2007-08-16 17:07:39 UTC
The fix to bz 235299 is two part, one the kernel (gfs2 filesystem) and another
in the userland bits (gfs2_quota and libgfs2). bz 235299 is for the kernel fix
and this bz tracks the userland fixes.

Description of problem: (copied from bz 235299)
gfs_quota list -f /fs/path appears to hang when the hidden quota file becomes an
unmanageably large sparse file. Clone of RHEL4 bug 210362 and RHEL5 gfs1 bug 225199.

The gfs_quota tool sequentially reads the quota file ignorant of large holes in
the quota file which takes a lot of time. The gfs_quota tool needs to
intelligently skip the holes in the file and only read quota file information
that's on actual data-filled blocks.

Because ioctls have been removed from GFS2, the solution to this has to be
different than what's been done for gfs1 in RHEL4 and RHEL5.

Comment 1 Abhijith Das 2007-08-24 06:10:37 UTC
Committed fix to cvs HEAD, RHEL5 and RHEL51
