1. If designers have decided to limit access to that info only to root - they must have their reasons to do so, and letting everybody do that is probably contrary to those reasons. 2. I want to limit access to sftp, so there will be no custom commands to execute... 3. sftp clients (especially those for windows) can determine quota - and they do it probably in some standard way - which doesn't seem to be compatible with btrfs... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
