Description of problem: # ncftool -d list warning: augeas initialization had errors please file a bug with the following lines in the bug report: /augeas/load/Modprobe/error = "/augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_xenomorph |=|1" /augeas/load/Sysfs/error = "/augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_xenomorph |=|1" /augeas/pathx/error = "garbage at end of path expression" /augeas/pathx/error/pos = "/augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_xenomorph |=|1" error: unspecified error error: errors in loading some config files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): netcf-0.1.7-2.fc15.x86_64 augeas-libs-0.8.1-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. have "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-foo bar" Actual results: virt stack becomes unhappy.
When you do "lsof | grep libvirtd" do you see a lot of .aug files? (more than 1 is enough to verify my suspicion). What is the version of augeas? Is it maybe earlier than 0.8.1-1.fc15? I'm betting that this is the same as Bug 690286 in RHEL, which was fixed in augeas-0.8.1-1.fc15. If you're not running that version, please update and retest. I'm moving the component to augeas, anticipating that's the problem.
ugh. I really should pay attention to the details - you've already told me you're using the latest augeas. Nevermind. I'll look into it.
The issue is that spaces in the paths need to be escaped (by netcf) with a backslash, i.e. instead of talking about "/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-foo bar" it needs to "/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-foo\ bar" IOW, netcf needs to do the equivalent of 's@ @\ @g' on all paths - I am wondering if I should try and catch this at the augeas level, with some sort of flag to aug_init. Bill: where do these ifcfg files with spaces in them come from ?

My opinion is that, since the string being passed into augeas is just a path, and space has no special meaning, the caller shouldn't be required to escape it - the space is unambiguously just a space embedded in the path, not a separator between arguments, etc. (but of course I'll deal with whatever you decide to do :-) Why would you need a flag to aug_init? Is there any reasonable circumstance when the application would *not* want a space embedded in a path to be escaped as needed within augeas?
(In reply to comment #3) > Bill: where do these ifcfg files with spaces in them come from ? NetworkManager migrating connections from GConf to system connections. It appears if it has multiple configured connections for a given SSID (in this case), it will write the second one with " 1" appended to the file name. There's nothing specifically in initscripts or NM that forbids spaces in the file name, to my knowledge (although obviously it's not common, and there might be a lingering bug or two somewhere with it.)
Committed a fix for this upstream as commit ea010d85. Path expressions can now contain whitespace _inside_ each file name - file names that start or end with whitespace still require that the space is escaped with '\'; but nobody does this anyway, right ?
