[Bug 1044516] [NEW] repquota not working correctly with xfs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Chris J Arges (christopherarges):

SRU Justification:
[IMPACT] 
 * When using quota on systems with XFS on precise/quantal only the root quota is reported.

[TESTCASE]
 * See bug below.

[Regression Potential] 
 * This patch is already part of quota 4.01-1. It would be important to test on XFS and non-XFS partitions to see if functionality is as expected.
 * This bug worked correctly in Lucid, and appears to be a regression in the upstream package between Lucid and Precise.

Description of the problem:

The command 'repquota' is not working properly with an XFS file system
on 12.04 and later. It only reports root's quota. The same command
worked well with 10.04, and the other quota commands (xfs_quota) seem to
work properly as well.

Version affected: 12.04 LTS:

ii quota 4.00-3 implementation of the disk quota system
ii xfsprogs 3.1.7 Utilities for managing the XFS filesystem

How reproducible is the problem? Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a XFS partition.
2. Create an entry in fstab such as:

/dev/vdb1 /mnt xfs defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

3. Run and compare the output of the following commands on 10.04 LTS ,
12.04 LTS and 12.10.

$ sudo mount /mnt
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/test
$ sudo chown $USER:$GROUP /mnt/test
$ sudo repquota /mnt
$ sudo xfs_quota -x -c report /mnt

This appears to be a regression.
