Hi, I am on this list so there is no need to cc me. I want to extend the disk quota system: - Implement a user space daemon to control it. - Pass control from the kernel to the user space daemon. By doing this, you can have much finer grained control over disk quota's, such as controling directories for users as opposed to file systems, setting quotas on what files reside in a directory as opposed to by UID etc. Is this at all possible, and if so, where should I start looking for coding with the kernel. I already have a fair experience in coding with C. -John -- /~\ The ASCII ASCII stupid question, get a EBCDIC ANSI. \ / Ribbon Campaign John Oxley X Against HTML http://oxo.rucus.net/ / \ Email! oxo <at> rucus.net "Personally, I'd rather pay for my freedom than live in a bitmapped, pop-up-happy dungeon like NT." -- Thomas Scoville
