Do you have a reason for not wanting this to be implemented, or are you just avoiding scope creep? In the past, this was a big pain point for NFS servers that used VxFS. I used one of Sun's "source available" programs to get the rquotad source to implement this in the Solaris 7 days. Google suggests others have done the same using the opensolaris code as a starting point. Still others have written wrappers around quota(1M) that invoke rsh or ssh to the appropriate NFS server. It seems as though this was eventually addressed by Veritas with 110434-02. We really shouldn't repeat this for long. It should be fairly straight-forward to modify rquotad to support this, so long as the zfs end of it is not overly complicated. Is now too early to file the RFE? For some reason it feels like the person on the other end of bugs.opensolars.org will get confused by the request to enhance a feature that doesn't yet exist. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
