I''ve once began to implement such a module[1]. But I''ve got
stuck
because there are no working quota-ruby-bindings available. I''ve found
Ruby/Quota[2], the code dates back to 2001 and does not compile against
modern kernels anymore, because much of the quota-internals have changed
since then. The module already implements editing fstab with augeas though.
