A normal user or group name allow beginning with digits, but xfs_quota can't create a limit for that user or group. The reason is 'strtoul' function only translate digits at the beginning, it will ignore letters after digits. There's a commit fd537fc50eeade63bbd2a66105f39d04a011a7f5, it try to fix "xfsprogs: xfs_quota allow user or group names beginning with digits". But it doesn't effect 'limit' command, so a command likes: xfs_quota 'limit .... 12345678-user' xxxx will try to create limit for username="12345678", not "12345678-user". This patch will fix this problem, and a test case xfs/138 in xfstests is used to reproduce this bug.

Would you please check it? Due to long time has passed, so I rewrite this patch and re-send it again now. If anything wrong in this patch, please let me know:) Thanks very much, Zorro libxcmd/input.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libxcmd/input.c b/libxcmd/input.c index c505ab3..5a7dce3 100644 --- a/libxcmd/input.c +++ b/libxcmd/input.c @@ -366,7 +366,7 @@ uid_from_string( char *sp; uid_long = strtoul(user, &sp, 10); - if (sp != user) { + if (sp != user && *sp == '\0') { if ((uid_long == ULONG_MAX && errno == ERANGE) || (uid_long > (uid_t)-1)) return -1; @@ -387,7 +387,7 @@ gid_from_string( char *sp; gid_long = strtoul(group, &sp, 10); - if (sp != group) { + if (sp != group && *sp == '\0') { if ((gid_long == ULONG_MAX && errno == ERANGE) || (gid_long > (gid_t)-1)) return -1; -- 2.5.0 _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
