>Description:
quot(8) is used to provide details on a filesystem's usage by user.
It takes as the filesystem option either a device or a mountpoint.
It exits with uninformative errors though if the mountpoint contains a
trailing slash, which it usually will do if you are using bash.
The error gives no clue what you have done wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
In the following :
/data is a mountpoint for a FAT32 filesystem (this works ok)
/tmp is a mountpoint for an MFS filesystem (gives daft error with slash)
/usr is a mountpoint for a UFS filesystem (also gives daft error).
rhadamanth# quot /data
quot: /dev/ad6s5: not a BSD filesystem
rhadamanth# quot /data/
quot: /data/: not a BSD filesystem
rhadamanth# quot /tmp
quot: /dev/ad4s2b: not a BSD filesystem
rhadamanth# quot /tmp/
quot: /tmp/: Undefined error: 0
rhadamanth# quot /usr
/dev/ad4s2g:
1244291 root
8629 setantae
1096 man
38 uucp
1 www
rhadamanth# quot /usr/
quot: /usr/: Undefined error: 0
>Fix:
One of the following suggestions :
1) Strip a trailing slash from the input.
2) Refuse to take anything other than a device.
3) Add this to the bugs section of the manpage.
