Subject: Status of quotas on ext3 and reiser?

I'm about to install a 2TB disk array, and I'd very strongly prefer to
use ext3 or possibly reiser to gain journaling.  Fscking 250GB is
already lethal.

But I also need quotas.  I've noticed that quotas do not appear to be
supported by ext3, but I haven't tried reiser yet.  And I'm not sure
if I simply need new quota userspace tools -- the ones I found were 1994
vintage.  I'm on RH6.2 BTW for this case, and the builtin tools don't
appear to grok ext3.

What is the current viability of quotas on ext3/reiser in a
conservative, production environment?  Is it waiting for the 32-bit UID
mods in 2.4.x, or has quota support been pushed off onto 2.5?  Am I
going to have to make the hard choice of journaling vs quotas? :-/

I couldn't find a definitive answer in the archives; sorry if this is a
FAQ.  I'd bug poor Andrew Morton directly :), but I'm also interested in
the status or reiser vs quotas.

Thanks,

Ken.
