quotas in 2.4.20

quotas in 2.4.20

[Jason Zebchuk]

Hi,

I was trying to apply the reiserfs-quota-22 patch to a 2.4.20 kernel and it
didn't work.  I tried to find out why failed, and to see if I could fix the
problem, but it seems that significant changes were made to the file
bitmap.c .  I couldn't even find some of the functions that were being
patched.

Does the 2.4.20 kernel require this patch, or a similar one to work with
quota's?  Will such a patch me made?



Thanks

I have a testing version available at
ftp://namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing/quota-2.4.20

You can try it and report to me if it breaks (but I hope it won't)

quotas in 2.4.20

[José A. Guzmán]

 Hi everyone,
 Hi Oleg!

 I'm trying to get quotas working on 2.4.20.
 So far they seem to work ok with the dec-3-2002 patches from: 
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing/quota-2.4.20/ 
with CONFIG_QFMT_V2.

 However the patch from jan-22-2003 in: 
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.20-pending/01-iput-deadlock-fix.diff
does not apply on top of the testing/quota-2.4.20 patches.

 Also, when compiling a 2.4.20 kernel with testing/quota patches and the latest
evms 1.2.1 patches, compilation stops with:
fs/fs.o: In function `fsync_dev_lockfs':
fs/fs.o(.text+0x31a8): undefined reference to `DQUOT_SYNC'


  Are the testing/quota patches recommended for a production box with 2.4.20?
(Debian 3.0, quota 3.08)

  Is there a way to get EVMS working with quotas?


  Thanks!


José

Yup.
You do not need that patch if you are using quotas, as it is already in ;)
I will rediff quota patches against new 2.4.21-pre later.

Hm, that's strange. Do evems guys touch quota code at all?

Well, they seem to work well enough. There is no bugreport that I can assotiate with
this quota code for sure.

Hm. What are evms guys thoughts on that issue?
