I have a linux box running 2.2.1 with quota 1.65 and raidtools 0.42. On a machine with a raid1 volume which has been happy for a number of months with an older kernel (2.1.119) I've upgraded to 2.2.1 and started playing with quota support. turning quotas on on a raid volume gives various errors such as invalid device and suchlike, but the quotas do appear to go on, insofar as edquota recognizes the volume. the quota program doesn't recognize them, and the totals seem to be sporadically updated. The big problem is taht running quotacheck on this device immediately drops into a uninterruptible sleep, and then any other low-level disk activities such as sync (including magic sysrq) ckraid and any further quota activities (such as quota) all drop into an uninterruptible sleep. Update. 'quota' appears to work better in 2.2.2, but this is likely an illusion, running quotecheck on a device immediately dies as with 2.2.1 and takes sync with it.
