Hmm ... I can't see any case where the new VFS quota code will
work (ie. Jan's patches/AC kernels/Redhat 7.1+) with the smbd
code, even if the kernel headers happened to correspond to the
running kernel. As I understand it, the new code returns a u64
byte count in one field (curspace) where before there was a u32
block count (curblocks). Is that correct? If so, smbd is in a
bit of strife here cos it peeks at that field in particular...
I took a stab at implementing the fix for this problem and for
XFS quota - the XFS code should be correct, the VFS quota code
(v1/v2 stuff) should be too, but I'm less certain on that - see
attached patch. The approach is basically to attempt the old
Linux quotactl for non-XFS filesystems - if that fails, try
the new version. And for XFS filesystems, always use the XFS
quotactl command, which is always the right thing to do.
Bret - could you let me know if this helps you?
cheers.
