When parsing values like 6#G222 ini parser ignores all values after #. Values like this are used between multiple languages and needs to be able parse password values.

[db]
user = admin
password = 6#G222@!ds9DlA0492SlL82

I also facing this problem. I have a value like sed -i s/^\(server .*iburst\)/#\1/' /etc/ntp.conf. But the values after # is truncated. It will be really helpful if this is fixed are or if there is any workaround.

You need to quote # and ; - since they introduce comments. So the following works:

[db]
user = admin
password = 6\#G222@!ds9DlA0492SlL82

It's a little bit unexpected, because you normally don't have inline comments with ini files.

gdeploy: Bug fix for gdeploy wizard.
2f28c90 
Following bugs are fixed as part of this patch.

1. Consider the RAID parameters for the gdeploy configuration.
2. Fix spelling issues in stripe size.
3. Fix special char issue in gdeploy template.
   Following gdeploy configuration has a special char '#' in
   the configuration. So it has to be coverd with a quote.
   command=sed -i 's/^\(server .*iburst\)/#\1/' /etc/ntp.conf
