I've requested that Aditya make changes to libquota so it doesn't always rewrite the quota file at each fsck; I consider this a bug. Unfortunately he hasn't had a chance to get to this yet. If you have patches which implement part of this, please feel free to submit your patches. I don't believe libquota is going to make sense the way it is currently written to be an exported library. It's very tightly dependent on ext2fs, and it's not clear it would be useful to external programs. It would require major changes to the API so it could be useful for other file systems. Given that there are some other file systems (like ocfs2) which are using the quota formats as internal file, perhaps it would be worthwhile to abstract away the ext2fs specific functionality. But I'm not entirely convinced, and perhaps we will just rename libquota to libinternal, assume that it will always be built statically, and then move things like profile.c into libinternal.a. - Ted -- 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
