Please try out the quota rpms on ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/quota.
They _should_ work with very large quotas. The 32-bit (4GB) limit on
quotas actually came from the user-mode tools, not from the kernel. The
patched quota tools should work perfectly with arbitrarily large quotas:
the limit is still 2^32 (2^31 if you are worried about sign issues), but
we count in blocks, not bytes, so for a 1k block filesystem we are safe
for qoutas up to 2TB.
There will be a new official quota utils release once Marco and I finish
assembling any other patches that need to be applied.
