Hi everybody,
First at all I have to say that XFS is great. Especially its built-in quota
support is really nice thing. I found tree quotas extremely useful for
hosting servers where uploaded files are created with other owner than
customer is.

 

But there is a one thing which could be done better I think: When I define
tree quota and user tries to exceed id, error message returned is "No space
left on device" which is not true - there is a plenty of space on device.
Only when quota is totally full, next message is "Disk quota exceeded". I
think it should be better if first message will be also "Disk quota
exceeded".

 

Cheers

You may want to upgrade to 2.6.17.7 ASAP. See
<http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#dir2> for why.
