[linux-lvm] quota on LVM

[Pierre Berthier]

Hi all,

is it possible at all to use quota on LVM and how to do that? If you
tell me it is possible in theory in the standard way, I'll explain
you my config on which it doesn't work :-)

Thanks,
Pierre

Unless I don't understand your question, quota is a filesystem issue, while
LVM is a block device (i.e. the two are not related).  Maybe you are using
reiserfs, which needs patches for quota to work?

Cheers, Andreas

Hi Pierre!

I use reiserfs on lvm on a raid5 (ibm serveraid 4m) with kernel 2.4.4.
Works fine. The only thing I found out is that you should use a new
quotautil from sourceforge, as the older 1.x only allow quotas < 2GB.

CU, Lars.
