Hi all,
I am trying to evaluation XFS for NFS server. We need to configure
directory level quota in order to better manage storage in the server. I
came to know that, we can use project quota which looks similar to
directory level quotas.

I was able to configure project level quota for XFS file system in my
Cent)S 5.7 machine. Below are the details

[root at linux-nfs ~]# cat  /etc/issue
CentOS release 5.6 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

[root at linux-nfs ~]# cat /etc/projects
13:/das/myproject1

[root at linux-nfs ~]# cat /etc/projid
myproject1:13

[root at linux-nfs ~]# xfs_quota -xc 'report -p' /das
Project quota on /das (/dev/cciss/c0d0)
                               Blocks
Project ID       Used       Soft       Hard    Warn/Grace
---------- --------------------------------------------------
myproject1          0          0     102400     00 [--------]

You can see the hard limit set to 1G. But, when i check directory space
using df -h command. its showing entire file system space in "Avail" column.

[root at linux-nfs ~]# df -h /das/myproject1/
Filesystem            Size  Used *Avail *Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0       100M     0   *13T   *0% /das

Is there a way we can restrict showing entire FS size in Avail column (or
show available space which is left after using the allocated quota i.e,
Avail space = Size - Used) ? This actually cause confusion to end user who
things they still have enough space in the directory.

Thanks in advance
