Package: quotatool Version: 1.4.9-2 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Hi,
this may need a retitle once we narrow down what is actually going wrong. I was doing some tests of quotatool and found that on some combinations of package versions it would fail because it was trying to do a quotactl() call to a block device name with an extra octal byte appended, e.g. quotactl(Q_GETFMT|USRQUOTA, "/dev/loop0\362", ...) = -1 ENOENT The specific test I was doing was running a simple dump: /usr/sbin/quotatool -u <user> -d /local/mnt For speed, these tests are being done with an ext3 filesystem image, which is why /dev/loop0 is involved. The problem occurs on two separate systems running etch, but not on a third. The only relevant difference I can see is that for the third host I was using a host that is a local user, not one in the NIS user map. If I try using a local user (username 'user', uid=1000) then quotatool works ok. I also tested on a sarge system and a sarge+backports system, which are in the same autofs+NIS environment as the etch boxes above. On those hosts, quotatool (1.4.7-1) works. Given the above, it may be that the bug is in some other package but I thought I should start here. Something does seem to have changed for the worse between 1.4.7-1 and 1.4.9-2, possibly an off-by-one error in a string handling function. I have shell scripts that can reproduce the problem and strace output if you need that stuff.
