XFS is almost but not quite consistant with that. XFS has mount options for accounting and enforcement, but no superblock bit yet. Accounting always needs to be enabled at mount time, and enforcement can be enabled/disabled with quotactl / xfs_quota in addition to the mount option. We have been thinking about optionally also adding the superblock flag as that would make a lof of things easier, especially for quotas on the root filesystem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
