At the moment it would be rather difficult to do that because all the
metadir directory tree paths have to be working correctly for the
filesystem to mount.   I'll see if there's some evil way to do that,
like ... zeroing qflags, corrupting /quotas, and trying to truncate the
(unused) quota files while quota is offline.
