James Peach commented on MESOS-4828:
------------------------------------

Traditional disk quotas are applied to users or groups. XFS project quotas can 
be used to implement per-directory quotas which is a much better fit for 
constraining sandbox disk usage.

> Implement a disk resource isolator using XFS project quotas. Compared to the 
> {{posix/disk}} isolator, this doesn't need to scan the filesystem 
> periodically, and applications receive a {{ENOSPC}} error instead of being 
> summarily killed.
> This initial implementation only isolates sandbox directory resources, since 
> isolation doesn't have any visibility into the the lifecycle of volumes, 
> which is needed to assign and track project IDs.
> The build dependencies for this are XFS header (from xfsprogs-devel) and 
> libblkid. We need libblkid or the equivalent to map filesystem paths to block 
> devices in order to apply quota.
