Re[2]: [Cooker] reiserfs quota support

2003-03-17 Thread maxxik
TP there is location of patch:
TP ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing/quota-2.4.20
TP which is officially recommended at oficially reiserfs faq. if i can,
TP i vote for including it into mandrake kernel after unfreezing distro.

TP of course, directory named as testing, but qa team maybe can test under
TP his kernel tests, if it is usable.


so how about including reiserfs quota to MDK 9.1 release's kernel
?

No way we want to see a big patch like this go in now! The kernel team
have discussed this before, and aren't prepared to do the work to
maintain this, since two other filesystems provide quota support
already, without additional intrusive patches.

Maybe you can request it for 9.2 (along with a 2.6 kernel?).

AFAIK, no (see man mount, no quota option listed for reiser). Use a real
FS, like XFS ;-).

IMHO, ReiserFS is usually useful for filesystems that don't need quota
support, things like mail queues, proxy caches etc. For the places you
want quotas (places users can write), you probably want good large-file
performance and may want acl support, so ext3, or ever better, XFS are
more suited here.

quotas on XFS are also just so much easier to setup than ext3, and
update almost immediately, plus normal users can check their quota,
(apparently not possible on ext3, maybe also not on reiser). With XFS on
our fileserver, I can even check the quota on the NFS mounts as a normal
user.

Regards,
Buchan

Sorry ??
User can check quota over nfs on ext3. you only need to nsflock services.

Quota on reiserfs is possible with a patch on kernel, suse include it.

But is it a good to provide this ? (it is not support by kernel team for 2.4).

Maybe I didn't follow this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cookerm=103484516128650w=2

to it's proper conclusion:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cookerm=103484516128650w=2

and assumed that the current implementation did not allow quota to work
as a normal user ...

Sorry.

 Quota on reiserfs is possible with a patch on kernel, suse include it.

Which AFAICR Juan and Chmouel were not too excited about ...

 But is it a good to provide this ? (it is not support by kernel team
for 2.4).


IMHO, no, and unnecessary (except possibly on a mail server running
courier-imap or something like that where users would have large volumes
of small files).

yes, quota support under reiserfs isn't included into plain 2.4 kernel,
but supermount isn't too ;]
