  • xfs_quota per project buggy?

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I am running a similar test to the one visible below:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/09/msg00384.html
    and I establish that the xfs_quota command may not to be trusted,
    at least not for daily operations with project quota (see report below):

    • after an mv operation of a file between 2 projects, the accounting is plainly wrong

    Can you reproduce the bug? do you agree it exists?

    tia,
    Fotis

    And more importantly, why both zero? that means no ability for atomic operation as regards quota,
    so it opens a can of worms.
