FYI, I noticed this new patch submitted upstream.

If it gets included upstream, there is a patch forward to allow the
standard quota tools to query Lustre quota data. 

Cheers, Andreas

Subject: [PATCH 1/8] quota: Allow to pass mount path to quotactl

This patch introduces the Q_PATH flag to the quotactl cmd argument.
When given, the path given in the special argument to quotactl will
be the mount path where the filesystem is mounted, instead of a path
to the block device.
This is necessary for filesystems which do not have a block device as
backing store. Particularly this is done for upcoming UBIFS support.
