Thanks a lot for your clarifications for my questions,I'll try your provided tools later. For the second version(26patches) patch set you've provided, i did not succeed to apply on your recommended kernel(Mark's linux-next branch), but only get it done with a success on linus's mainline-2.6.27 kernel. so it may make a little bit difference with your working environment, will it make any hurt for quota testing?
