Add several notes about quota patches in this directory.

Miscellaneous utilities for XFS
-------------------------------

mkinitrd.xfs
	Russell's modified version of mkinitrd.  Notes from rlog:

	Modified mkinitrd: make it large enough to fit xfs and pagebuf (15meg)
	Use static version of bash rather than sash; sash doesn't seem to work.
	(bash.static not supplied must build your own).
	Note default ram disk size in the kernel is 4096k
	add append="ramdisk_size=15000" to lilo.conf

xfs_stats.pl
	Perl script to massage the /proc/fs/xfs/stat file into a readable
	format.  Use "perldoc xfs_stats.pl" to see the man page.  We dont
	install this script in xfsprogs, for example, as we don't want to
	introduce a prereq on perl just for this little script.

kiobuf_io.patch
	Patch (against the xfs tree at 2.4.3) to re-introduce the
	kiobuf based I/O patch. This code was removed due to change
	in direction in the community direction for the block I/O
	layer.

2.4-xattr.patch
	Patch (against 2.4.18) for Marcelo.  We should wait a little while
	first so this code gets a beating in the XFS CVS tree, but several
	people have asked for this now, so here it is.

quota-patch-2.4.17-3.diff
	A local copy of Jan Kara's 32bit VFS quota patch, which is now
	included in the XFS CVS tree; it can also be downloaded from:
	ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/v2.4/

2.4.18-pre3-ac2-quotactl.patch
	An INCREMENTAL patch (against Jan's 32bit VFS quota patch above,
	or Alan Cox's patches) which integrates XFS quota with the new
	quota interfaces.  This is now included in the XFS CVS tree also.

[ Both of these quota patches are being reworked (by Jan) in order to
  allow both old and new VFS formats to co-exist.  This new code will
  appear in the XFS CVS as soon as Jan deems it ready for us to use.]

inode_size.pl
	Perl script which predicts the size of an inode number in
	bits for an XFS filesystem.  Written by Bill Ryder; refer to
	Steve's mail for some context, at:
	http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0107/msg00727.html
