Last modified: 2015-01-04 18:01:53 EST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #683541 +++ Description of problem: cgconfig fails to parse due to commas in the conf file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Problem seen in both: libcgroup-0.35.1-3.fc13, libcgroup-0.36.2-5.fc14 and probably other versions as well. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a line to the config file that uses a comma for the mask. For example: cpuset.cpus = 1-3,11; 2. Attempt to start cgconfig 3. Fails due to parse error. Actual results: cgconfig fails to start Expected results: cgconfig starts successfully Additional info: adding a \, to the regular expression on line 35 of lex.l in the libcgroup source fixes it. --- Additional comment from dhaval.bugzilla@thegianis.in on 2011-05-24 08:18:41 EDT --- I believe this was fixed in the upstream sources, and probably an update has been delivered.
