Package: quota
Version: 1.65-2.5
Severity: wishlist
This is a wishlist request for the quota package to read quota information
from /etc/fstab instead of /etc/mtab.
If the quota programs don't use mtab, they will not be affected if mtab is
corrupt or not present, and this will help people who want to have /etc
be on a read-only partition.
A disadvantage would be that quota options would need to be in /etc/fstab,
and that specifying them as command-line options to mount would not
work.
(Other utilities can use /proc/mounts, as it contains enough information
about mounted filesystems for most utilities, but it does not contain
quota information).
Changing this is a matter of editing a single line. Here is a patch
for quota.c:
536c536
< fp = setmntent(MOUNTED, "r");
---
> fp = setmntent(MNTTAB, "r");
That is, on line 536 of quota.c, change the MOUNTED to MNTTAB.
