      Hello.

      As I mentioned in previous mail to account quotas in
    bytes and not in blocks (needed for reiserfs) I need to
    know something like i_blocks but in bytes. So I added
    field i_bytes to inode. This field is used along with
    i_blocks and means (number of used bytes) % 512 (size
    of block used in i_blocks).
      This solution has advantage that we added only 16-bits
    to structure and we needn't to update any block oriented
    filesystem...
      Another thing needed is to propagate somehow this entry
    to struct stat so quotacheck may account bytes properly.
    Whom should I ask to propagate needed changes to libc?

                            Thanks for answers.

    PS: I'm now leaving for a week so I won't be on mail to answer...
