Hi All

I have a question about current quota implementation. 

This is current implementation. There is a rquotad running on same box
as nfsd. Then in quota-tools, it check if file system type is nfs, then
it invoke a rpc call and get that from rquotad.

Another way is to implement the s_qcops in kernel nfs client and thus
quota-tools can use a unified way to get quotactl information.

Any special reason why not use 2nd way to make quota-tools simpler? One
reason I can think of is to put unnecessary code out of kernel. Is there
any other reason?

Thanks!

Ming
