Hi *,
We use nfs4 in combination with dovecot. Also (hard)quotas are used on
the exports.
Using the dovecot quota fs plugin things did not work at all. There were
a few issues we encountered:
1. Nfs4 is not recognized. The problem is that the mount type is only
checked for "nfs" and not nfs4. This was an easy fix.
2. The (fs)path for nfs4 that is relayed to rquotad has to be without
the leading "/". This was an easy fix, too. (borrowed from linuxquota:
http://linuxquota.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linuxquota/quota-tools/rquota_client.c?view=markup
)
3. Maybe because we do not use softquotas the quota active boolean
(rq_active) in the rquota struct is always false. So we hackishly
removed this check. This problem also occured here:
http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-May/039593.html
Apparently quota-tools do not check for this either (not needed?).
4. As metioned above we only use hardquotas but the plugin only reports
softquotas. In my patch below I changed the behaviour: Check softquota
== 0. If true then use hardquota, else softquota.
Maybe you can use some of those fixes. I think at least #3 is
reproducible (see ml post). The hard vs softquota behaviour is certainly
a matter of discussion. The nfs4 "fixes" are actually more like
feature
requests that I think should be added to the plugin in one way or
another.
I created a diff of my changes to quota-fs.c. The changes were tested
only for nfs3/4 though.
Cheers
Martin
