More than less one of the goals of FCQ is to enable quota accounting on mount. So quota file's content will always be out of date due to page-cache tricks. But if we export virtual files instead of real ones this allow to solve both issues at a time. OpenVZ use this trick to handle per container quota via unmodified quotatools. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
