Ext3 users - Jul 2004 - Quota Support

Hi
I want to know the current status of Quota support on
Ext3FS over the 2.6.7 kernels.
I read something about potential deadlock
issues/crashes with quotas on Ext3. How stable is the
curent quota support (specifically on 2.6 kernels) ?

Another thing, in the man page for mount, it says that

"These options are accepted but ignored" for "grpquota
/ noquota / quota / usrquota" options under ext2. What
does this signify ?

Any resources/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ash

On a filesystem with about a million objects that belong to 300,000
different users, under I/O load of ca. 30 Mb/sec, system hangs after
several hours.  For me, that is.  Probably (?) you need to modify quota
to trigger this.

mount ignores these flags, just writes them into /etc/mtab and nothing
more.  The flags are actually used by quotaon and quotaoff.
