Package: xfsprogs Version: 3.1.4 When invoked without an explicit -U argument, the report and dump subcommands of xfs_quota only mention projects that have a corresponding entry in /etc/projid . This important fact is not mentioned in the man page. It could easily result in loss of quota limit information across dump/restore on systems where /etc/projid is out of date, corrupt or missing.
(Aside: even the fact that the dump subcommand accepts -L and -U isn't documented in the man page. Why not?) With an explicit -U, the code switches from getprent() (which iterates over the contents of /etc/projid) to a simple loop over all project IDs in the given range. This is better, except possibly for performance if the project ID space is sparse. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
