Hello,
I just installed ext3 on woody, kernel 2.4.17
with disk quota
Disk quota don't work:

http://www.zipworld.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html says:
========================================================================
Across July, ext3 development has slowed as we head toward a 1.0
release.  As of kernel 2.4.7, the ext3 patch is quite stable and
performs well.  Testing has been on x86 SMP.  Please send any success or
failure reports for other architectures to the ext3-users list.

One outstanding problem is disk quotas.  There are several known sources
of deadlocks in the 2.4.7 quota code, and ext3 adds one more source.
The quota code in the -ac kernels is very different, and once that gets
merged into Linus' tree we shall continue development and testing of
quota code for ext3.   This is not to say that ext3+quotas crashes all
over the place - but if you push the filesystem hard enough for long
enough, the code will lock up and you will need to reboot to reestablish
operation on the affected filesystem.   We only test quota code against
the -ac kernels - this is supported and works well.
========================================================================

This information seems to be rather old, but maybe quota doesn't work
until now with ext3. Don't know.

 Elmar
