Yeah, last time I tried the only modification xfs_quota tool needed to work correctly with ext4 was to remove / modify the check for filesystem type in fs_table_initialise_mounts(). The question is how to properly deal with that. I don't think just removing the fs type check is the right way to go as that will have unexpected side effects for operations working on "all" filesystems - currently these are restricted to "all" *XFS* filesystems. Maybe we can add a command line option which will disable the fs type check so that non-XFS filesystems can be handled. We used to have an option like this for xfs_io but it seems it got removed so I'm not sure we want to add that into xfs_quota though. Dave? Another option would be to use generic quota-tools for project quota tests once the patches land. But that would require some more work on xfstests side and so far I didn't get an official submission of patches for quota-tools to support project quota.
