A customer is asking if they could use the repquota command to list all user
quotas on a Lustre fs, as they are used to with other Unix filesystems. We
suggested to invoke "lfs quota $user" for each user known to the
system (eg.
those returned by getpwent(3)).

But we also suspect that there are potential issues with this approach:
 - some users could use fs blocks while they do not exist in the system
directory (whatever the reason)
 - the user directory could be *very* large as compared to the actual number of
users on the fs, leading to many useless invocations of "lfs quota"

Is there any chance that Lustre could provide the interfaces used by
"repquota"?
Failing that, an evolution of lfs to display all known quotas would be nice to
have.
