You mean, I should use only a few of these?

01-quota-v2-2.4.20.diff
02-nesting-2.4.20.diff
03-reiserfs-quota-23-2.4.20.diff
04-kinoded-8-2.4.20.diff

I'm afraid they don't apply cleanly, though I might just need to try a
bit harder.

OTOH, there must be a reason that Chris _works_ on it ;-)  (eg,
non-trivial)

Anyway, I have the following wishes (yeah, it is not even Christmas!):

o  quota in -ac patches for reiser (like the Configure help already
                                    says ;-)
o  or for -ac patches.
o  updating of the Namesys FAQ on quota patches.
o  peace on earth.

If the people involved can take care of this, I would love to buy them
all a beer or two if they ever come to Amsterdam and if not with too
many at a time. But remember, these are wishes only.

Take care and thanks!!
