recent quota tools from Honza are fine, no modifications are required, vfsv0 (the new quota format) is required to make linux-vserver quota useful (with the old format, you get GB sized quota files ;) > IIRC those tools handle the per context quota hashes and are stand-alone > tools (though they're pretty useless without a vserver-enabled AND "Per > context quote/Disk Limit"-enabled [1] kernel). right, quota is modified by linux-vserver quota patch to allow for more than one quota hash per filesystem. this requires a way to add/remove those hashes to/from the filesystem. this is done by the linux-vserver quota tools cqhadd/cqhrem. disk limits are another feature, addressed by the cqdlim tool the 2.6 branch (vs1.9.x) doesn't support vserver quota atm, just disk limits, and they are handled by a new tool (vdlimit) which is compareable to the cqh* tools. in near future per vserver quota support will be added to vs1.9.x ... > So i'd recommend to package the CQ/DL kernel patch depending on the > linux-vserver kernel patch (as of now 2.4 branch only... possible?) and > have that package recommend the cq-tools package. I guess 'recommend' is something like 'depend on' just not mandatory, well, if so, then this sounds reasonable to me. anyway here are the dependancies: for 2.4/1.2x disk limits -> quota patch, cq-tools vserver quota -> quota patch, cq-tools, quotatools, vrsetup secure quota -> quotatools, vrsetup (separate partition) for 2.6/1.9x disk limits -> vdlimit > But I'd like (and suggest) to hear Bertl's opinion on this topic.
