So I wanted things to be as similar to other filesystems as possible. So quota, usrquota, grpquota would enable quota accounting & enforcement (the last two selectively). If we want the possibility to enable accounting without enforcement that can be done by some special mount options (and possibly we can add them when there's user demand). Also note that there's always the possibility to disable quota enforcement using quota tools when needed. But IMHO 99% of users will want accounting & enforcement and thus that should be the default like with other filesystems. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
