Agreed. The only problem is that the wire protocol defines the quota to be signed. Changing to unsigned is a protocol change. When we add support for 64-bit volumes, then we should change the quota interface at the same time to support 64-bit quotas. > Agreed.

We could special case the value 1 to mean do not permit the overage margin.
