I'm successfully using users/groups quota on Kernel: 3.1.4-vs2.3.2.1
according to the wiki page you have metioned above and now, for the
first time, I'm going to use disk limits. I can get disk limits working
on ext3 of course.
The testfs script seems to show that ext4 inode tagging is working fine,
but despite of the fact that I mount the partion in this way inside fstab:
/dev/sda3 /usr/local ext4
data=ordered,rw,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,tag
1 2
as Herbert pointed out, the tagging is not recognized during the mounting.
I don't have ideas on the purpose, and google searching produced
anything, anyway tonight, during users' sleep time, I will try again.
Also I would like to know if the failed tag option recognition is an
issue which just comes with ext4, or is an issue related to
linux-vserver and ext4.
Thank you, best regards
Roberto Puzzanghera
