Well, I have got it to work, mostly. The only thing I haven't gotten to work
yet is the ability to set quotas over the net. This will require kernel hacking
Quotas seems to be stable to the extent that you can export a filesystem with
quotas and have the server enforce them. It is even possble to have quota(1)
report quota and limit data to a remote user, but only if the quota file is
in the mounted filesystem and rpc.rquotad is running on the fileserver.
Patching rpc.rquotad to keep working even if the quota files are located
outside their filesystems is easy, make a one line change to
.../libexec/rpc.rquotad/rquotad.c::initfs().
...
stat(qfpathname, &st);
...
should be changed to
...
stat(fs_current->st_dev, &st);
...
