------- 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
