anaconda writes the original fstab.
Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-11-12 19:53:16 UTC 
One offing options for filesystems is _wrong_.  If it should be the
default, then it should be the default without tweaking in every
application that might ever doing mounting.
Comment 3 Florian Effenberger 2004-11-13 10:19:23 UTC 
Hm, I think that quota is not this seldom. Maybe the quota package 
could automatically append the mounting options? Or better, maybe the 
disk druid/partition manager in anaconda could offer this?
Comment 4 Stephen Tweedie 2004-11-18 00:09:41 UTC 
The question was not about tweaking all mounting applications, it was
about setting options in fstab (where they should be picked up by
other apps automatically.)

I don't see the urgency of this, given that enabling quotas is fairly
involved --- just mounting doesn't do it, you also need to manually
create the quota files (that's not default either), and do a quotaon
on the newly-mounted filesystem. 

If we're not actually creating quota files by default, then I don't
think we should be adding the mount options either.

If the suggestion is to do the entire quota setup automatically in
anaconda, that's a different thing entirely.
Comment 5 Florian Effenberger 2004-11-18 06:03:28 UTC 
Okay, then let's include quota support in anaconda. ;-)
Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2004-11-18 13:55:27 UTC 
Frankly, not going to happen :)

The setup is far too confusing and intimidating for most users who
aren't going to have a need for them.
