Is this the time to bite the bullet or take the bull by the horns?
(Substitute other metaphors to taste...)
In the devel/TODO there is a suggested "coding project":
Rewriting Samba's current filesystem quota support as a VFS module.
There has also just been another thread from someone requesting some sort
of directory-dependent result from "df"-like functionality.
Is now the time to extract the handling of "df" (default), "quota", "dfree
command" into a generalised VFS structure, reimplementing those mechanisms
in such a framework?
Or maybe this is already being addressed?
We can probably assist with testing and coding Solaris/quota, although we
can no longer help with Solaris/Veritas/quota, as we no longer have such a
server.
