Not really serious. Nobody complained so far (i.e., for the time quota
exists) and the limits will just wrap when you try to set them over 4TB
now. So the patch can wait...
So does quota_v2.c even handle quotas > 4 TB?
Usage yes, limits no. But some Sun guys are already working on a patch
for fully 64-bit quota. I already have a decent kernel patch from him but
I'd like to see also tools support to really run it before merging the
patch :).

Does this also affect XFS?
