2.5.75 and xfs quotas

2.5.75 and xfs quotas

[Ivan Gyurdiev]

Perhaps I'm missing something silly, but with both generic quota v2 and xfs 
quota enabled (and xfs) all compiled into the kernel:
===========================================================
[root@cobra linux]# mount -o remount /dev/hda8

strace:
mount("/dev/hda8", "/", "xfs", MS_REMOUNT|0xc0ed0000, 0x805be00) = 0
===========================================================
[root@cobra linux]# mount -o remount,quota /dev/hda8
mount: / not mounted already, or bad option        

strace:                                                                                                                          
mount("/dev/hda8", "/", "xfs", MS_REMOUNT|0xc0ed0000, 0x805be38) = -1 EINVAL 
(Invalid argument)
===========================================================

There will be a more meaningful message in your system log.

This (remount,quota) is not implemented by the XFS kernel code,
and hasn't ever been, although there was a time when it wouldn't
have reported an error when attempting this.  Currently, quota
can only be enabled during the initial mount.  For your root fs
this means using "rootflags=quota" during startup.

cheers.

There is...quota is unsupported. But I figured that out from the rest of it.

Okay, thank you. 
Perhaps that's what the warning should say rather than "quota option 
unsupported"?

Well the exact message is actually:
XFS: unknown mount option [quota].
