fill it up to more than 512MB (was it that number?) and then compile a new
kernel years later and it will be after that magical border ans thus
unaccessable.

I would assume that disc quota increase the load on a server. As we're talking
about a heavily loaded server wich much disc IO (else this partitioning is
not necessary) this would slowdown it, or not?

(maybe my kernel is just too recent...)
