Subject: GFS2 filesystem feature release notes
Hi,
I'm trying to get some GFS2-related information out in a release note
for Fedora 15. I'd greatly appreciate it if somebody can help me out
with getting this in.
GFS2 recently implemented a quota feature that allows the generic
filesystem quota tools to interact with GFS2 in addition to the
already supported gfs2_quota tool for manipulating disk quotas.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596794 was the development
bugzilla used to track this.
This has been documented for RHEL6.1 in the GFS2 manual. I'm not sure
what level of detail needs to go into the Fedora release notes, but
I'm attaching the relevant section from the RHEL gfs2 manual for
reference. If you need more information please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi,
I figured something along these lines could be mentioned in the release notes:
"As of the Fedora 15 release, GFS2 supports the standard Linux quota facilities. In
order to use this you will need to install the quota RPM. This is the preferred way to
administer quotas on GFS2 and should be used for all new deployments of GFS2 using quotas.
GFS2 used to require the gfs2_quota command to manage quotas but its use has been
deprecated and it will be removed from future Fedora releases. For more information on how
to use the generic quota tools with gfs2, please refer to the 'GFS2 Quota
Management' section in the latest RHEL6 'Global File System 2' manual located
here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/"
Thanks!
