Re: Rambling noise #2: Learning to use the v8 pquota/uquota patchset

["Michael L. Semon" <mlsemon35@gmail.com>]

No.  I'll try this later on today, then post back to the group.

BTW, I'm terrible at switching between group quotas and projid quotas, 
and am aware that I'm too stupid to report what I see.  However, because 
I have a projid quota to limit the size of Samba shares used by Windows 
7 backup, I'm reporting this despite my stupidity.  I ask for everyone's 
forgiveness in advance.

Thanks for your help!

Michael
