Bug#1103244: partman-xfs: Add support for "prjquota" option for XFS

[Pascal Hambourg]

Control: tags -1 patch

MR created:

Are other options worth adding too ?

Note:
"prjquota" does not have a description yet. Previously partman 
misbehaved on mount options with missing descriptions (partman-btrfs has 
some), but this was fixed recently too.
Adding descriptions involves translation effort. Also should all 
descriptions go into partman-basicfilesystems as of now or should 
filesystems-specific option descriptions go into related partman-* 
packages ?

Exactly why I'm reporting for prjquota today

Not that I'm aware of (happy to be corrected though), as far as I know mount 
option is all is needed, see below for e.g:

# mkdir -p /data/vol
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/vol/xfsprjquota bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
# mkfs.xfs /data/vol/xfsprjquota >/dev/null 2>&1
# mount -o defaults,prjquota -t xfs /data/vol/xfsprjquota /mnt
# xfs_quota -c 'print' /mnt
Filesystem  Pathname
/mnt/dev/loop1 (pquota)

Ah, right, I had missed the recent-ish merge.

So I suppose I was looking in the wrong place, and seeing how there are
a few *quota options already, I'd hope adjusting mountoptions/xfs would
be sufficient.

Sorry for the confusion.

Right, it looks like there isn't much flexibility at the moment:

 # Ensure label is quoted correctly
 log-output -t partman --pass-stdout \
 mkfs.xfs ${label:+-L "$label"} -f \
  $device >/dev/null || code=$?


Does using "prjquota" require extra mkfs.xfs parameters ?

Right, it looks like there isn't much flexibility at the moment:

# Ensure label is quoted correctly
log-output -t partman --pass-stdout \
mkfs.xfs ${label:+-L "$label"} -f \
 $device >/dev/null || code=$?

Hello,

We tried to leverage XFS project quotas ("prjquota") as part of our preseed 
install but it appears this option isn't available via 
debian-installer/partman-xfs which would more convenient.

Regards,
Alexis
