 Yes, I agree that it's a good think to have quota options in
/proc/mounts. Doing it per filesystem is not nice but I don't know a
nice way of doing it a VFS level either...
 

I'll have a new patch which includes your comments and a few I thought 
up soon. I'll repost the new patch.

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and [X|J]FS codes to add the 
necessary hooks. The show_options function of each file system in these 
patches currently deal with only those things that seemed related to 
quotas; especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).


The EXT3 has added error checking and has two minor changes:
  The "quota" option is considered part of the older style quotas
  Journalled quotas and older style quotas are mutually exclusive.
  - both discussable topics
   


 Ack.

OK.

 

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and [X|J]FS codes to add the 
necessary hooks. The show_options function of each file system in 
these patches currently deal with only those things that seemed 
related to quotas; especially in the EXT3 case more can be done 
(later?).
  



It seems sad to do it in each filesystem.  Is there no way in which 
we can

do this for all filesystems, in a single place in the VFS?
 

Each file system must be able to echo it's own FS specific options, 
hence the show_options hook (XFS is a good example). EXT3 has it's own 
form of journalled quota file options, hence the need for the specific 
hook.


The "older style" (e.g. "usrquota", "grpquota", "quota") could be done 
generically but a FS might want any number of quota options. The few 
lines of code in each file system didn't seem so bad especially if the 
show_function start echoing more.


Followup comment/through...

If we want /proc/mounts to really replace /etc/mtab in the general case, 
always using it as a symlink, the file system codes will all need the 
show_options hook - they will need to echo all of their private options 
duplicating, as closely as possible, what would have been written to the 
/etc/mtab regular file.

form of journalled quota file options, hence the need for the specific hook.


The "older style" (e.g. "usrquota", "grpquota", "quota") could be done 
generically but a FS might want any number of quota options. The few 
lines of code in each file system didn't seem so bad especially if the 
show_function start echoing more.

It seems sad to do it in each filesystem.  Is there no way in which we can
do this for all filesystems, in a single place in the VFS?

[PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts

OK.

necessary hooks. The show_options function of each file system in these 
patches currently deal with only those things that seemed related to 
quotas; especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).

Each file system must be able to echo it's own FS specific options, 
hence the show_options hook (XFS is a good example). EXT3 has it's own 
form of journalled quota file options, hence the need for the specific hook.


The older style (e.g. usrquota, grpquota, quota) could be done 
generically but a FS might want any number of quota options. The few 
lines of code in each file system didn't seem so bad especially if the 
show_function start echoing more.

some environments)  the tools don't write anything - they assume the 
kernel will take care of things.


While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount 
system call and the file system codes handle them properly 
unfortunately there is no code to echo the quota strings into 
/proc/mounts and the quota tools fail in the symlink case.
  



hm.  Perhaps others with operational experience in that area can 
comment.
 


OK.

 

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and [X|J]FS codes to add the 
necessary hooks. The show_options function of each file system in 
these patches currently deal with only those things that seemed 
related to quotas; especially in the EXT3 case more can be done 
(later?).
  



It seems sad to do it in each filesystem.  Is there no way in which 
we can

do this for all filesystems, in a single place in the VFS?
 

Each file system must be able to echo it's own FS specific options, 
hence the show_options hook (XFS is a good example). EXT3 has it's own 
form of journalled quota file options, hence the need for the specific 
hook.


The older style (e.g. usrquota, grpquota, quota) could be done 
generically but a FS might want any number of quota options. The few 
lines of code in each file system didn't seem so bad especially if the 
show_function start echoing more.


Followup comment/through...

If we want /proc/mounts to really replace /etc/mtab in the general case, 
always using it as a symlink, the file system codes will all need the 
show_options hook - they will need to echo all of their private options 
duplicating, as closely as possible, what would have been written to the 
/etc/mtab regular file.
