Hi Konstantin,
So CAP_SYS_RESOURCE bypasses the quota checks?
I just created dir upper on xfs filesystem and defined quota of 1G and
as root user (with cap_sys_resoureces), I am not able to create file
bigger than 1g in that dir. So looks like xfs quota took affect even
for privileged user with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE set.
What am I missing?
As root user, I set limit of 1G on work/ and upper/ dir and created
a file of 4G in lower/ dir and mounted overlay on "merged" dir and
did "touch zerofile", and go error message.
touch: cannot touch 'zerofile': No space left on device
So looks like I am doing something wrong and not be able to reproduce
the issue to begin with.
I'm using ext4 project quota around upper/work directories.
ext4 use generic quota implementation: it ignores hard limits if CAP_SYS_RESOURCE is set.
It seems XFS ignores CAP_SYS_RESOURCE for any kind of quota.
But I've found special meaning for CAP_FOWNER - chown() can ignore user/group
quota if caller have this capability.
