Quota support in GENERIC or as loadable module?
Hello, Right now quota support is not available by default in the GENERIC kernel. As far as I know there is no way to compile quota support as a loadable module, am I correct? If so, what are the reasons for not including this feature in the GENERIC kernel and/or providing it as a loadable module? I would very much like to use the freebsd-update tool on my servers, but I can't because I am forced to use a custom kernel to be able to use quotas. I can imagine quotas is not being included in the GENERIC kernel because it's only useful for servers and not for desktop users. However, the freebsd-update tool seems to me especially useful for servers and now can't be used on those systems because of the custom kernel (assuming many, if not most, servers enforce quotas). Therefore I don't understand why there isn't the option to include quota support by a loadable module. Does anybody have an explanation and/or a solution for this problem? Thanks for your help in advance!

Quota support in GENERIC kernel
i all, Is there any technical reason why quota support is not included in GENERIC kernel or at least be made a loadable module? I know it's not hard to recompile the kernel but why the hassle of doing that when a module or built-in feature can be included? I would like to utilize freebsd-update binary patching mechanism for all the boxes I maintain but it only supports GENERIC kernel. I don't have a dedicated build machine and most boxes are located offsite so having a binary update can really help cut down on the tangible and intangible costs. It is my opinion after using FreeBSD for quite some time that quota is an essential feature that should be part of the GENERIC kernel. I hope I can get a good explanation for this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
