is any one aware quotas not working in 5,5? I'm using XFS as a file system.
They work just fine; first hit on Google, http://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_quota
That had some typos and the man locally was more accurate.
In the event that any one else wants to do this, some notes;
1 - xfs_quota -x /dev/sdc1 worked versus that actual named mount point of foo. 2 - quota warnings default to 7 days, running state when in xfs-quota mode tells you its default. I had to set it globally to 1 second instead of per user as it seems the per user warning time was ignored.
I also read this from SGIs XFS PractiCal Exercises which I found very helpful, especially regarding directory based quotas;
oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/training/xfs_lab_05.pdf
And thanks to those who pointed out tXFS quota.
And by the way, on my 16x2TB disk, 32TB raw = 24TB usable Raid 6 + hot spare, it took ~20 hours to rebuild. There were some who expressed concern over such a large volume and rebuild times.
And also thanks for the Raid 6 suggestion.
