That used to be the way in which the quotas were set by gfs2_quota. However that is really considered obsolete now, so maybe we don't have to support that interface any more... the gfs2_quota package is no longer in distros as the generic quota package does the job for us these days. I'd just been looking at using sd_quota_mutex instead of the inode mutex, but run into that same issue, Steve. > CC: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@xxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> > --- > fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c | 8 ++++++++ > fs/gfs2/quota.c | 2 +- > 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) > > So this is probably the simplest what can be done for GFS2 (actually OCFS2 > does the same for internal system files).
