The rule 2) and 3) are just the same sematics with UID/GID quotas. So, becasue of rule 1), after 'touch /product/mail/huge_file', the project ID of 'huge_file' is 'mail', and its usage is accouted as project 'mail'. Even we do 'mv /product/mail/huge_file /product/maps', because of rule 2), there is no project ID updating and no quota transfer. Since so, the project quota of file 'huge_file' is always accounted as 'mail', from the first beginning to the end. And that is why I think project quota of 'mail' can't be evaded in this way. According to the discription of Jan Kara, I think the current implementation of project quota support for ext4 is just a subset of XFS project quota, i.e. project quota without XFS_DIFLAG_PROJINHERIT flag. I would like to add such kind of flag for sure.
