So I should try to grab the SourceForge package instead? The SGI version is
fairly current (pre-4 I think), but I'll give anything a shot at this point.
I enabled XFS quotas _and_ the other quota thing in the kernel . . . here is
a snippet of my start-up:
VFS: Diskquotas version dquot_6.4.0 initialized
SGI XFS with ACLs, EAs, DMAPI, quota, no debug enabled
[ . . . ]
XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,5)
XFS quotacheck ide0(3,5): Please wait.
XFS quotacheck ide0(3,5): Done.
It looks like everything is working correctly, until I try to do quota on.
:-( I think the SGI quota tools isn't "special", but you just provide it as
a "nice thing" . . . you know better than I do though. :-) Thanks again, and
have a good one; I'll try to build tommorow.
