From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: usrquota,grpquota should be default mounting options in file /etc/fstab for the hard disk partitions Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Additional info:
anaconda writes the original fstab.
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.
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?
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.
Okay, then let's include quota support in anaconda. ;-)
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.
