quota support for ext3

[Chuck Peters <cp@ccil.org>]

Hi,

I did a new install with the 2.4 boot floppies and installed a couple of
ext2 fs's and a 30 gigabyte ext3 fs on Monday.  Added tasks DNS, Apache
and mail/imap and all went well except for an error message when apache
started the first time. I think the script was trying a restart rather
than start, but it was no problem as apache started fine on the reboot.

Last night I installed quota, quotatools and webmin-quota and wanted to
configure it for the ext3 file system.  But the docs in
/usr/doc/quota/README.Debian state e2fs only.  None of the other docs I
read indicate support for ext3, so I downloaded the source to see if I
might find something there.

$ grep -r ext3 quota*
quota-tools/mntopt.h:#define MNTTYPE_EXT3               "ext3"  /* ext2 +
journaling */

The mntopt.h file also lists reiserfs, xfs, ext2, minix, ufs and udf.

So the short version is it appears ext3 quota's are supported with woody,
but not documented.  Is this correct and do all the tools work as the
current documentation indicates?

If the above is correct, please update the docs.

If it is incorrect, should I grab the quota 3.05 from unstable or what?

Thanks,
Chuck
