xfs_quota unable to create project id's over 65535

Hello,
We use unix uids for project ids andnow have uids well over 65535.
Is there a way to force xfs_quota to use project id's above the 64k
boundary?
If not how are others getting past this limitation.
I have tried searching and could not find anything that states this is a
xfs_quota issue but not sure where else to start.

When setting project quota using the command xfs_quota -x -c "project -s
projectname" it returns and "Invalid argument".

Setting up project projectname (path /usr/tftpboot/users/projectname)...
xfs_quota: cannot set project on /usr/tftpboot/users/projectname: Invalid
argument
Processed 1 (/etc/projects and cmdline) paths for project projectname with
recursion depth infinite (-1).



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

brian

man xfs_admin (from recent xfsprogs) and read about projid32bit. Note that 
after turning this on you won't be able to mount fs on kernels that don't 
support projid32bit (<= 2.6.36) without hacks.
