------- some time ago, I wrote I read the documentation, suggesting to combine context and 16bit user id to 32bit uid to make quota possible ... After some DEEP look into the kernel sources, I think (please correct me if I am wrong) that it should be possible to add a third kind of quota (context quota) which limits the space available to an entire context ... my suggestion is to make the following uid mapping in/near the virtual filesystem layer: Process [context/16,uid/16] <--> Filesystem [uid/32] 32bit uid support is in linux 2.4.x for almost all file systems since 2.4.12 or so. ------- unfortunately I did not find the time to make those modifications, although it seems quite simple ... best, Herbert
