32bit UID/GID's Quota in 2.4!

32bit UID/GID's Quota in 2.4!

[Christian Mayrhuber]

Quote from Marcelo Tosatti:
"We decided to include this new code quota code which allows usage of quotas with 32bit UID/GIDs."

Finally this should mean there is a possibility to get reiserfs data logging + quota into the 2.4 kernel, doesn't it?

Hello Christian,

Jeez, i can't remember since when we needed and used this feature
(quotas with 32bit UID/GIDs) thanks to Jan Kara, Chris Mason,
Oleg Drokin and all ReiserFS team.

I'm pleased to see that it will finally make it into 2.4 series.

I haven't had time to look how "new" this quota code is and if it differs
from what is actually available through external patches though.

Thanks,

Philippe

I see that the Config.in stuff is a bit different. Also comment says it is 2.5 backport,
not quotav2 for 2.4 patches that were floating around.
I plan to look at it closer soon and port reiserfs quota to new interface if necessary.

Well, only if won't be counted as a new feature ;) (so I guess we need to mark it as a "bugfix")

Bye,

  Quota code in 2.5 kernel is almost the same as the 2.4 I have at my
ftp site. The code that got merged has some minor differences which I'm
now discussing with Marcelo.
