Good evening. We have some heavy-loaded servers on ext2, and we want to migrate to ext3fs. But we need full and stable quota support. I have headrd that there are some problems in quota usage under ext3fs. Is it true? Should we decline the ext3 usage as impossible in our servers? We need high-level stability in our server (hosting). Thanks before. -- Best regards, Dmitry Koteroff (dk@dklab.ru), chief programmer (http://www.dklab.ru).

Re: So, what about stable quota support in ext3fs?

I was using 2.4.20 + patches from ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/v2.4/2.4.20/ I also tried without the patches. AND also tried with kernel kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x from RedHat. I tried vfsv0 and vfsold. Imagine any combination on the prior variables... I did it. On every test I made, I only got deadlocks. Regards, -- Juan Pablo Abuyeres <jpabuyer@tecnoera.com>
