Quotas is another area we have not got to yet. XFS has its own quota
mechanism, and Linux has a generic quota mechanism - which requires
calls out of the filesystem code to the quota checking code. From a
backwards compatibilty point of view, XFS should end up using its own
quota mechanism - since this will let people migrate irix filesystems
with quotas. From a linux compatability point of view we should use
the Linux code.
So there is a design issue to sort out first - then actually getting the
code working.
As for timescales - at the moment we are attempting to get a stable
filesystem out there which can call a beta release (getting close now).
After this we will start filling in the gaps in functionality - which
include quotas.
