I would like to open the discussion about these changes since they will have to be dealt with for the RXOSD changes anyway but provide by themselves already a very useful feature.
Rather than overloading existing fields (especially in the case of returning two values bitpacked into MinQuota), I think it's more valuable to consider the RPC changes necessary to support this as a first class feature. Fortunately, this would appear to be relatively simple. We would need to to revise GetVolumeStatus and SetVolumeStatus, and the structures AFSFetchVolumeStatus, and AFSStoreVolumeStatus.
I will leave others to speak to the desirability of using the MinQuota portion of the volume header - I've got no idea how widespread other uses for this field may be.
