>Originator: The System Mangler
>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Asynchronous Systems Architecture Project
Department of Computer Science
California Institute of Technology
>Environment:
By now old 3.0-CURRENT (mid/late 1998 version)
>Description:
When running quot, if you have users who use more than 2GB
on a single disk, the information gets screwed up in the predictable
2's complement way.
To be honest, I am not sure if this is a bug in the program
(i.e., maybe it is supposed to be able to handle the situation).
The comments are too sparse for me to make out exactly what the
ksz-indexed arrays are for. Maybe it's already been fixed?
This is my version:
static const char rcsid[] =
"$Id: quot.c,v 1.8 1998/01/17 16:45:03 bde Exp $";
>How-To-Repeat:
Find a disk with hogs on it, run quot.
>Fix:
Convert the program to use larger data types.
