Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 658590
GFS2: Use 512 B block sizes to communicate with userland quota tools
Last modified: 2011-05-23 16:29:57 EDT
Description of problem: The generic quota tools that communicate with gfs2 through the quotactl() syscall assume usage/limit/warn values to be in 512B block sizes instead of the fs block size that is assumed by gfs2. Actual results: The values are all messed up. One can compare the output of gfs2_quota vs that of the values reported by the generic quota tools (repquota, quota, etc.) Expected results: The values should tally.
