Hello.
I'm working on new quotafile format (to be ready for inclusion in 2.5). As a
benefit we should be able to support 32-bit UIDs with quotas and also space
will be accounted in bytes not in blocks (this is needed for ReiserFS).
But there is one problem with byte accounting - there is no way to get
real number of bytes file occupies. i_size includes holes and i_blocks
is in blocks. Does anybody see any other way than creating new field
in inode like i_realsize or something like that?
If anybody is interrested patch against 2.4.0-test2 is at
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/v2.4/
and utilities working with new format at:
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/utils/
Thanks for ideas
Jan Kara
