hi all,
Some people have kindly tested out my experimental Samba patch
from awhile ago and, low-and-behold, it seems to work (pfft!).
Apparently the following steps are needed:
- get the patch
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0110/msg00818.html
- patch the current 2.2.2 Samba source
- ensure your system has a /usr/include/linux/xqm.h file
- NB: run "autoconf" (to generate a new Samba "configure" script)
- run "./configure ... --with-quotas ..."
- run "make"
... and that should just about do it.
Buchan & Sylvestre - are you still interested in getting this patch
into Samba, as you suggested in your original mail below?
cheers.
