I've been working on a patch to AFS so that one could add scales to numbers. The primary goal is to be able to do things like
$ fs setq . 1g and get a gigabyte quota. For we who use powers of 1024, that's a helluva lot easier than $ fs setq . 1048576 Especially when setting, say, 23g quotas. What, you don't have 23g == 24117248 memorized? :-) While doing this I stumbled across a feature and a possible bug in the fs setq command. The feature is that 'fs setq' and maybe other things accept well-formed octal and hexadecimal numbers. Thus you can set a 1 gigabyte quota with any of these: $ fs setq . 0x100000 $ fs setq . 04000000 $ fs setq . 1048576 And yes, negative quotas can be expressed in octal and hex. Ya learn something new every day. Steve_______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
