quota bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated quota packages that fix one bug and add two enhancements are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The quota packages contain a suite of system administration tools for monitoring
and limiting user and group disk usage on file systems.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When SELinux denied access to the quotacheck utility, the "quotacheck -c"
  command did not report any errors and failed with the exit code 0. With this
  update, quotacheck internals have been changed to propagate any error with an
  appropriate non-zero exit code, and to print accurate warnings if the old quota
  file could not be used. As a result, quotacheck now reports errors correctly
  while initializing quotas on a file system. (BZ#717948)
  

This update also adds the following enhancements:

• The edquota and setquota utilities now support input values entered with the
  use of multiplicative unit abbreviations (K, M, G, T). (BZ#890051)
  
• With this update, the quotacheck utility no longer checks quota files on the
  GFS2 and XFS file systems. Since these file systems do not have any quota files,
  the check was redundant. (BZ#846120)
  

Users of quota are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug and add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
