Subject: Ext4 quota support

Hi,

today we had to reboot one of our fileservers with ext4. Unfortunately
it decided to run a quotacheck on restart. We are now waiting till it
checked several TB of data.

My question is: Is there a reason why the quotacheck started although
the server was shut down cleanly?

Another question: Is the first class quota support in ext4 somthing to
be expected soon or should we better use another filesystem like XFS?

Please forget my first question. Opensuse automatically calls quotacheck
if fsck reported something.

I have implemented the kernel changes for this, but still working on
e2fsprogs changes. I hope to get most of it working this month, but it
might not be ready to be submitted by then.
